Dear Survivor: reclaim the light
Dear Survivor: reclaim the light - Survivors of Sexual Assault Anthology
This is a collection of poetry & art from survivors of sexual assault. This work begins to pick up the shards of glass glittering on the beach. Begins to inspect the rounded edges, holds translucent sea glass in an open palm. It invites you to turn it over, a white stone glowing in the sun, and inspect the fractures - cracks that have grown together and healed imperfectly. Fractures that are still healing. Still speaking. These survivors are still speaking. While the pronoun ‘she’ is often assumed for survivors, this book contains stories from all genders, all over the world. We owe it to them to hear their stories. To join them in the on-going fight for survival until survival is no longer the only choice left. You can order your copy here
