Broken Feather: A Journey to Healing

Rating:
Summary: Broken Feather: Five Stars
Review: Suzanne has created a gentle, yet haunting and beautiful collection of poems/writings about child sexual abuse. It is not easy to write with the honesty of emotion that Stutman does: somehow these poems are raw with devastation and with the hope and rough terrain of reclaimation, and yet not overwhelming. An excellent book, I would think, to give as a gift or to share with a friend who wants to understand. Sometimes her simplest poems are the most powerful; the silence of stark paper surrounding a mending poem gives it shape. These are the writings that will let you know that you are not alone in your journey to reclaim your body, your sense of trust in the world, your hope, your self. Beautiful. Simply.
