A Vessel She

"I can never seem to untangle my mind; it is always frantic or wandering." I started writing poetry when I was very young as a way to work through my own emotional turmoil. It was a way to turn things that were dark or painful into something beautiful that I could share with the world. This book contains over 50 free-verse poems from as from as early as high school to as late as my mid-twenties and contains a special dedication to my mother who I lost at the age of 20. Topics include depression, self-injury, death, loss, self-image, and glimpses of dreamy surrealism.
