Keeper of Backwards Men

By Vennie Kocsis

"Keeper of Backwards Men" is a powerful collection of poetic writing exploring the emotional themes of trauma healing, hope, self love and rising up out of the ashes as a beautiful soul. Each piece has been curated from three decades of the author's unpublished writing. This deeply emotional and thought-provoking book will take you on a rhythmic ride into the pain of abuse, the struggle to regain strength, and the ultimate victory of finding a place of comfort in an often complicated life. Remember to let go of that which has served its purpose and accept the new without fear. You are never alone, and you matter. In moments of struggle, sitting in silence, or if your intuition calls, pick up this book, choose a page, and let the words resonate.
Acclaims and Reviews

"As beautifully formatted as it is written, 'Keeper of Backwards Men' inspires deep feeling and introspection. Kocsis' stunning prose probes the tenderest parts of her heart, allowing the reader to touch those spots in themselves. Her words weave an emotional tapestry bravely hanging in the corridor of our collective soul, and we are all the better for it. These words go beyond cognition; they fill the mind's eye with images and the heart-mind with transformative emotion. I have no doubt this book will inspire all who read it to dive inward, cuddle up with their shadow, and move forward with a loving, healed heart."
