Out of Something Ugly

By Michaela Belmont

Out of Something Ugly is an award-winning book of poetry documenting the ramifications of child abuse and neglect on a person's psyche, along with the mind's inspiring, tireless ability to endure and survive. The content in this collection was written over a ten-year span, starting from the creator's adolescence and continuing into her mid-twenties. The cornerstones of this work include struggling with self-loathing and loneliness, processing the conflicting and overwhelming emotions felt toward the original abuser, and pushing ever onward to try to find a way out of the dark. Out of Something Ugly's mission is to draw beauty and meaning from ugly experiences so as to transform them and turn them into instruments for healing.
