Healing Out Loud

Healing Out Loud is a poetic celebration of the big messy grey area that lies between trauma and healing. An homage to the sights sounds and situations I encountered on my journey towards wholeness. This book is an exercise in describing all the things that they never show us in movie montages when pretty starlets get their life together. Like the pains our mothers and fathers dont talk about or the processing we do in secret to deal with lifes twists and turns these are the things no one teaches us. This is the stuff we learn about by just hurting through it or surviving it. Poetry is the practice of reaching into yourself to pull out all of those things: the feelings energies burdens and pains to describe them vividly.
