About the Last Five Years

Beschreibung

In this collection of poems April opens up her personal notebook and allows the audience a look into the most intimate moments of her life over the last five years. In this chronological look at the years between 2017-2021, April describes the darkest and the lightest moments of her healing journey after escaping a physically violent intimate relationship. The highs in this story are rivaled by intense lows as April navigates the complex feelings of loss, hopelessness, freedom, empowerment, and destruction, both her own and society's. About The Last Five Years is a personal look into the overlooked side of the domestic violence story, taking the opportunity to highlight the more taboo feelings of a victim, as well as the way outside factors exacerbate those feelings.

Her unique experience of going through school while writing this book adds a layer to the story that shows not only her progress within herself, but as a writer and poet as well.
