Of Soul

I began to write as a fifteen–year–old girl who had just lost her first love to cancer. Anger, grief, and thoughts of self–mutilation fill the first few chapters of this collection. My eyes began to open to the world as I grew older and, through suffering from schizoaffective disorder, I was able to find illumination through poetry.

This book takes the reader on a voyage from the raw, gritty pain of adolescence and loss through the transition to knowledge, wisdom, and love, as one writes oneself into adulthood.
