The Scars Behind the Tattoos

Everyone is fighting battles that no one knows about. No one has it easy. Some people can express their emotions and some cannot. In The Scars Behind the Tattoos, poet Domenica Marsala writes about her and others’ experiences in life with sadness, depression, and even happiness. Each poem bursts with the emotion of people’s real lives. Told through voices shaped by sorrow, survival, and hope, The Scars Behind the Tattoos is a stirring portrait of real lives-and the unbreakable spirit behind every scar.
