The Airless Door: A Poetry Collection

When calamity hits, life offers two very distinct choices - to curl into a ball and cease to exist or to accept the pain as a part of life, take a moment to lick our wounds, and then move on. This is a book of poems predicated on the later, that healing can be found in the journey. In this text lie original pieces dedicated to the concept of taking oneself back from bullies, false friends, and accepting that aging gracefully is to be championed. These pages, most of all, are about the re-forging of the soul after one of the worst disasters imaginable - the loss of a child through miscarriage. If your shoes have ever tread on these roads, may you find healing here among friends.
