Out of the Darkness

Poetry by a woman who has lived through more hell on earth than most people can imagine, and yet has emerged from horrible darkness into a better space. Although she still deals with dyslexia and dissociative identity disorder, the poet uses her poetry and a sense of humour to cope. Her journey from an arranged marriage and rape in S. Africa to a warm, lesbian marriage that has survived several bouts with cancer and a couple of decades of daily trials is a story that inspires hope for those with the most difficult challenges life can throw at us.
