Publisher's Synopsis
Not all stories that need to be told are ones we would want to read. In fact, more often than not, it is precisely because we would prefer not to hear them that they are all the more important. 'Songs of Disempowerment' is an assortment of 30 selected songs and poems that are not designed to make you feel good about yourself. They are not meant to make you happy, or elated, or to lift your spirits. These are the stories of the dispirited and the disheartened, lamenting a cruel and lonely fate. These are stories of powerlessness. Because power is a thing we often take for granted: until, that is, we find ourselves without it. Warning: contains explicit language and subject matter not suitable for young readers.
