The Living Affliction

<p>This poetry collection is what happens when debilitating pain becomes the main character and refuses to exit stage left. The words unfold in hospital rooms during sleepless nights and in the unrelenting torment of a body that refuses to cooperate. They are intimate and intense charting the rituals of pills and procedures that blur the days together. This collection digs into the kind of suffering that rewires your sense of time self and sanity. Brutal and beautiful in equal measure. These poems don't flinch because the body they come from never got that luxury. <strong>The Living Affliction</strong> conveys the simple truth that even in immense pain the words endure.</p>
