Surviving Home by Katerina Canyon

4.0

This poetry is not to be read lightly. This book is intense and raw, words wielded at their sharpest like knives. The world is a complex place, and the people within it are no exception. Complicated, toxic, self serving, vicious even. All 105 pages expose all of it, the dark ugly underbelly of it all.

The author writes about her childhood trauma, how home can be an oppressive place, an urgent memory. And how she turns that negativity into alertness and awareness for the present, to make it into something greater than the past.
