One of the Writer's Digest 101 Best Websites for Writers
By Nora Hikari. A blazing poetry collection, prophetic in the sense of speaking divine judgment against abusers, this book also holds an immense tenderness for all parts of the trauma-fractured self now coexisting as a system. Hikari writes her own theology to rename herself and God in language that no longer oppresses.
