Download or read book Dust Bunnies and Sparrows written by Kimberly Gaubault (McCrae) and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domestic Violence is an ugly reality for far too many. Its effects change and destroy individuals, families and communities. After having her family, home and relationship with her children torn apart by the actions of her abuser, this survivor has opted to tell her story, through poetry, in her journey to reclaim herself and redesign her future. The African Proverb says until the story is told by the lion, the hunt will always glorify the hunter. With art as a tool for healing and a path to promote wholeness, Kim hopes to assure those caught in the throes of the insidious cycle of Domestic Violence that it is ok to acknowledge what they feel and it is ok to disrupt the comfort of those around them and tell their whole truth. If we are to ever live in a world free of #MeToo, there must be occasions where victims' and survivors' stories are heard and where perpetrators (and those who know while saying nothing) are held accountable for their actions. For some, like Kim, the reality of Domestic Violence does not easily culminate in a moment of absolute victory. For some, it looks like 20+ years of various types of abuse. For some, it looks like restraining orders that "can't" be executed and countless court appearances. For some, the journey looks like a judgment overturned in favor of their abuser. For some, the journey looks like living in fear while never telling anyone. For some, the journey looks like leaving, returning and leaving again. For some, the victory looks like shaking off the dust and getting up, again and again and again. If you're taking up this book to read and you have been directly impacted by the ugly reality of Domestic Violence, even if you are a victim, YOU ARE A SURVIVOR. Perhaps this will assist you in finding your voice. Maybe, in these pages, you will find community. Welcome to Dust Bunnies and Sparrows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poems Exploring the Issues of Domestic ViolenceGi Dhanoa has been writing poetry since she was 11 years old, scribbling poems at the back of her maths books in high school. As a child Gi was a very creative young lady, through her words. English Literature was her favourite subject, as it gave her the freedom of interpretation of text and dialogue. This would then allow her to develop her own style. This love continued throughout Gi's adult life and proved essential during the need for an expressive outlet, whilst experiencing volatile relationships. She endured both violent and mental abuse for many years silently. Gi takes the readers through a journey of her own experiences and creatively places herself in others' stories bringing a dynamic view of what domestic violence and mental abuse means to both men and women. "Let my words give you courage and hope. There is so much to gain from speaking up and sharing what you have been subjected to, in order to support others who may need your wisdom to set themselves free" G.D.

Download or read book In My Shoes My Poetic Journey from Abuse to Victory written by Lyn Crain and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-07-25 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1950s, the phrase "confessional poetry" gained popularity initially with Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath, and Anne Sexton. This form of the written word gave artists a way to discuss private, painful events in their own lives without actually sharing every minute detail with the world. In My Shoes poetically portrays Lyn Crain's journey through cancer, as well as physical and emotional abuse. Her poetry is written from the heart and can be titillating or terrifying in a world that is often more black than white. Crain felt the need to use her voice to share her story and, in turn, open the discussion for women suffering under similar circumstances. Crain is grateful that domestic violence is not a taboo subject anymore, however very few poets have addressed the subject in any length. Silence enables, but by raising voices, it is possible to also raise awareness that domestic violence will no longer be accepted as the norm.

Download or read book High Ground Coward written by Alicia Mountain and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2018-04-15 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alicia Mountain’s urgent and astonishing debut collection maps a new queer landscape through terrain alive and sensual, defiant and inviting. With a voice that beckons while it howls, Mountain nimbly traverses lyric, confessional, and narrative modes, leaving groundbreaking tracks for us to follow. High Ground Coward offers fists full of soil, leftovers for breakfast, road trip as ritual, twins of lovers and twins of ourselves. This world blooms with hunger-inducing detail, its speakers asking us to consider what it will take to satisfy our own appetites while simultaneously trying to nourish one another. “Ferocious, even the softest part,” Mountain shows us “a way to fall in love with wanting,” leaving us “ravenous, but gradually.” Bearing witness to identity formation in solitude and communion, High Ground Coward is an almanac of emotional and relational seasons. Mountain’s speakers question the meaning of inheritance, illness, violence, mythology, and family architecture. Whether Mountain is at work revealing the divinity of doubt, the entanglement of devotion, or the dominion that place holds over us, High Ground Coward heralds a thrilling poetic debut. From “Scavenger” We three eat food and are in love. This is the easy way to say there are stores beneath the floor. Potatoes and shallots, hard-necked garlic streaked purple, jars beside jars, themselves each staving globes of suction. Preservation, a guardian hunger. In the evening I whisper to the boiled beet, like a naked organ in my flushed hand: You are ground blood, you are new born, you have never been nothing— thawfruit seedflower greenstart rootbulb handpull shedscrub mouthsweet and again.

Download or read book Depths of Domestic Violence written by Sara Dzydzan and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When immersed in the horror of domestic violence, you either give up and die inside or you remove yourself and live in your imagination. Nobody believes that it will happen to them – but it does – and it is real. It does not discriminate; it seeps over the threshold of every class, religion and gender. Abusers are clever; they relieve you of friends first, then family, until you have only them left. They tell you it is all in your head – that you are crazy and that you need help. They know your insecurities and this becomes their playground and you their play toy. An abuser does not care if you are sad, they do not care if you are broken and they have no interest in anything but total domination. You cannot fix them, you can never love them enough. You just have to leave.
