So Long This Wound Stayed Open

So Long This Wound Stayed Open is a map toward forgiving and healing your inner child that will break your heart. In her poetry collection, Chang names core wounds like fear of rejection, loss of heritage and home, and welcomes them into her arms, saying: we need not let our scars turn us into islands. Let them instead be the light others use to find us in the dark. This book will open you up and teach you how to recognize wounds and dress them with a new kind of belonging, a place where self becoming is relief.
