Tapped, Yet Unrooted: Poetic Word Slaughter

By J.E. Rome

Book Overview

Award Winning Finalist in the Poetry: Narrative category of the 2021 Best Book Awards sponsored by American Book Fest

Can toxic family secrets ever be forgiven or forgotten? J.E. Rome's raw, visceral poetry is a personal and chronological journey through the hell of growing up in a dysfunctional family where when bad things happen, there's no one to blame but yourself. Rome faces the skeletons in the closet head on: from childhood trauma, abuse, and parental neglect to the soul-ravaging effects of poverty and addiction.

Graphic and hard-hitting, this unforgettable memoir, structured as a collection of poems, takes you through the darkest places of the human heart to the light of hope and truth.
