Publisher's Synopsis
In My Own Flood is the first book of poetry by Christina Strigas. The poems collected in this volume are raw and human. They touch all aspects of love and loss, pain and relationships, death and family. They bring out the woman in you, the man in you, the mother, wife, husband, and lover. At times, the child in you. In the tradition of confessional poets, such as Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath, this poetry collection encompasses stream of consciousness and narrative poetry through illusions and reality. These poems will make you reflect and search deep within yourself to the places of your soul that the ocean within you travels. In My Own Flood feels like a ride inside the waves of a mind on the verge of drowning and gasping for words instead of air.
