Peeling Back the Layers

By Shelley Dawn Malicote-Stutchman

Peeling Back the Layers is a book of raw and unpredictable poetry. The poetry reflects emotions of divorce, abandonment, affairs, narcissism, rape, suicide, family, betrayal, and secrets. Many of the poets grew up in dysfunctional homes. Some of the poets reached a snapping point and ended up in mental hospitals. Some fell into the darkness and despair of depression. Many of the women gave love only to be betrayed. The poems in this book are riveting, and you will experience the depth of emotions as you read each word. These women peeled back the walls they had built around themselves one layer at a time. They let themselves be open to feeling again. This book contains original art from artist Linda Pope. The art is as powerful as the poetry. Each poem will speak to you in its own unique way. May you find the words you need in your life as you read the raw emotions within these pages.
