More Description

"Unbecoming" is a book of poems that depict a metamorphosis of the self. From rock bottom and lifeless, the layers are removed one by one: layers of trauma, illness, dying, toxic bonds, addiction and intense thwarted love. It is a process of slowly UN-becoming all that does not serve us any longer and revealing the inner self. By the end of the book, the poems portray a glimmer of light and hope. This book is for those that are looking for a way out of darkness. It is a call to feel even the most painful dark feelings. Because it is in the tapestry of being human to feel and to allow these feelings. The poems are not afraid to talk of death, of dying, of betrayals, of revenge. But they also show the slow process of healing just like the earth thaws and blooms in springs and the roots sprout, so does our soul makes its way out of pain.
