"I'm not going to tell anyone. I'd rather die than tell my parents. So you're safe, okay?" Is what I told him, when I was sixteen and scared of what it meant to be raped. Of what would come if anyone found out.
But today, I tell the world. I was raped. And the mental journey that got me here, is a tale of pain, grief and acceptance. This is my story.
Petrify is a collection of poetry that took over a year to write, exploring topics of coming to terms with PTSD, living with rage and life in your early twenties.
Absolutely phenomenal poetry collection. I connected with this collection in ways I never have with poetry. Rhiannon is an absolutely incredible author/poet and has such a beautiful way with words. Very excited to see what she releases next 🩷
Such a beautiful poetry collection. Rhiannon Ford created such a wonderful and heartfelt journey through her own thoughts and I really felt connected to each and every poem. Her writing really came alive with each page and I can't wait to see what she creates next.
