Human verses

<p>The debut collection of educator activist and performance poet Katya Zinn <em>human verses</em> takes the reader on a profound search for truth and meaning through the darkest nights of the soul. Inspired by the author's own journey through trauma addiction and mental illness these poems explore the complex contradictions of healing and survival. Though largely autobiographical this chapbook arrives at universal themes that bring light to the ways each of us are a product of our perceptions as much as our experiences. The result is a genre-bending work written in an experimental style that is equal parts lyrical philosophical and irreverent and witty.</p><p><br></p>
