Trigger Warning is a unique collection of poems written by an array of women who have chosen to share their experiences of sexual assault and violence. Moving and incredibly powerful, each piece is cathartic. Women’s experiences have been shut down and belittled for too long; these stories tell us so much about the urgent work that must be done to make every one of us feel safe. Every woman who contributed to this collection has shown vulnerability and courage - it is a rallying cry for change that all should listen to. More than a book of poems, this important publication brings out into the light what is so often left for women to carry in the darkness.
This is an incredibly powerful collection. Every piece hits you with its brutal honesty, its strong voices and the way the soul of every writer is laid bare for the greater cause of sisterhood. We are joined together by what we survive and we remember those who weren't lucky enough to. This collection is hard-hitting and so moving. Please read it.
This anthology of poetry is a powerful and necessary anthem from survivors of violence and sexual assault. Each woman who has words in these pages is an essential witness and an unstoppable force of strength. You will finish this book feeling quenched, fired up, and burdened to keep fighting for women's voices.
