Trauma often causes a disconnect between body and mind. In Digging Up Graves, I use poetry to search for my body after sexual assault and trauma so that I can reconnect with her and heal. We are always at war with our bodies. I think that when something hurts us, something we can't control, we try to find something to blame for it. And that blame often goes to our bodies. Imagine living a whole lifetime in a hate relationship with the only thing that truly loves you. This book is a healing companion and mirror for survivors.
