My soul was broken into two pieces;
the love I have for you and the
hatred you caused me to have
for myself, my image.
I want to hate you,
but honestly
I want to
love me
more.

Book stalled
I am raising funds to publish a poetry book for and about survivors of sexual assault, including childhood sexual assault and intimate partner rape. This project is deeply personal to me, and I believe it can offer hope and healing to many who have experienced these traumas. The journey to publication is challenging, especially for a book that tackles such sensitive and important topics. As someone on a fixed income, the costs of reading fees, contest entry fees, and other expenses make it difficult to get this book into the hands of those who need it most.

Public Announcement Challenge Winners
For the Public Announcement Challenge, writers were asked to work inside voices built for control. These were notices, warnings, and updates meant to inform rather than confess. The strongest entries committed to that form and didn't break from it. Corporate memos, formal government alerts, and internal policy language were held consistently, allowing emotion, fear, grief, or humor to surface indirectly through pressure rather than declaration. The following poems recognize the voice of authority, and let human feeling slip through despite all its rules and restraint.
