Publisher's Synopsis
In 2018, I had a severe trauma-related breakdown that caused me to relive traumas and stole my writing skills. The odds were against me, both for regaining my mental health and my literary knowledge. I refused to let the odds win.
As part of that tumultuous healing process, I went through my surviving journals, college homework assignments, other surviving teaching tools, and I read multiple writer's guides. Revisiting old poetry and journals forced me to relive the traumas and decades worth of pent-up emotions that I hadn't been allowed to vocalize. Anger and rage flowed through my pen, staining pages in literary blood, a cathartic experience that fueled my healing process. I realized that these works can help fellow survivors feel heard and help others see into our minds to better understand us. May you enjoy "Weaving the Phrase", a sampling of my works inspired by the healing process and the horrific memories of what I survived at the hands of the corrupt.
