The poems you're about to read are children born from the womb of unwanted resilience. I offer you its children Hope and Despair on your journey to raise them, for they embody that aspect. To have resilience is to survive an unforetold outcome, or malicious situation with a reformed sense of self, an affirmation to live in a world now altered. The Living Wound is an autobiography written in poetry and prose on surviving rape, abuse, loss, and finding love. Though time will tear away at the fabrics of our soul, the key to becoming a Living Wound is to accept that, and to sew something more brilliant, enduring, and vibrant in its place. With these few words I present to you the final chapter of Urban Poetry and Soul, take hold of these children, and nourish them as you read The Living Wound.
