Publisher's Synopsis
Daughter as Poet offers easily readable poems of how hard life can be as a middle class child who's life began with an abuse so powerfully blocked that she didn't discover it until 27 years later. The poems demonstrate an honest, transparent look into her struggle. From the assault, she suffers from depression, co-dependency, and loneliness. Her poems come alive as she hides inside herself trying to make sense of her existence. Some themes her poems highlight are love, faith and death. Some take a more introspective look into the darker side of existence, like suicide, monsters and hell. The author draws you in, leaves you there for a bit, and then slowly brings you out to show you that she can prevail.
