Skin Deep
An emotionally raw and visually descriptive collection of poems reflecting on an entire life span of ups and (mostly) downs. Freed from the pages of many journals kept over the years, this set of poetry reads like a powerful memoir encasing many short stories.
The author writes about love and pain, having a daughter at a very young age, complicated family dynamics, mental illness, codependency, addiction, sexual violence, body image, and relationships she’s had with herself (there are many), friends (and frenemies), and the world.
The poems are birthed from childhood trauma and lost innocence and scream from the pages what it’s like to grow up as a little girl in a chaotic world. The little girl is still residing in the female author, and she will never grow up, but she finally has a nurturing host.
