love & introspection: A Chapbook Of Poetry

By Hunter King

How does a heart, weathered by a decade of abuse, learn to trust and love again?

love & introspection, the first published collection of poems from a powerful new voice, charts this very journey. These 21 stories, written from the heart, are fragments of a life being rebuilt, piece by painful, beautiful piece.

This collection does not shy away from the shadows, bravely navigating the complex emotions that follow trauma-the lingering sense of worthlessness, the ghost of a lost identity, and the pervasive fear of being an imposter in the warmth of a new love. Written over the course of two years following intensive therapy, these words map a difficult but ultimately hopeful road to recovery.

Featuring a foreword and a special reminder from the author, this collection is an intimate invitation to witness the effects of healing. For survivors, these pages may feel like a mirror. For others, they are a window into the strength it takes to learn to love again.

(Reader Advisory: The themes in this collection are deeply personal and candidly explore the aftermath of domestic abuse, which may be triggering for some.)
