TW: child abuse, SA, racial trauma

❛ Our situation is what it is: We are stuck.
We can choose whether we are stuck
In darkness or in light. ❜
ARC provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Surviving Home is a poetry collection that gives insight into the traumatic childhood experiences one may face, making it seem almost like a memoir. Katerina Canyon, being an African American woman, navigates through her memories of child abuse and neglect, racial trauma and more with a ‘brutal’ honesty that might make this collection a heavy read, due to its vivid images.
