Define Hope
Define Hope is an intimate glimpse into the journey and thought process of a poet navigating debilitating chronic ill health, grief, loss and pain. From the darkness of losing faith, the bitterness of grieving her former self to the light she often found during her most trying times. Define Hope is a reflection of the extremes of emotion we each face – the exhausting and unpredictable shifts of anger, hopelessness and sadness and their relationship to our mental health and self belief. Evrah exposes herself and her conflict with the world in an unflinching look into her life since her last release.
