Author Event: Mackenzie Rose - Post Traumatic Poetry

Post-Traumatic Poetry is at once deeply personal and frighteningly universal. Mackenzie Rose‘s collection of poems shares her story from being a young woman in an abusive relationship to becoming a domestic violence survivor. Her poems take the reader through her first glimpses of her partner’s narcissism and gas-lighting to the moment he tried to kill her. They untangle her medical trauma and find her traversing the world with a new identity while learning to understand her physical and emotional scars.
