This debut anthology opens with ＂Exile,＂ setting the stage for a raw exploration of complex emotions known to human existence. This collection unearths the complexities of a life and compels the reader to face the emotions we often fear: pain, rage, resentment, longing for belonging, and the sting of feeling unloved.

Think of this book as a a sanctuary or graveyard for our darkest shadows- that by letting the poems speak to you, you perform an act of justice for the profound self-betrayal that was committed to you when your mind, who witnessed all the traumatic experiences you braved through, decided to forgive and let go at the expense of the body, which often kept score.

In so doing, you are being invited to leave their burdens behind and emerge, at last, into the light.
