Jessica Sita, a poignantly captivating author, has put together a chapbook detailing the trauma associated with topics such as rape, abuse, mental illness and more. In a series of hauntingly beautiful poems she captures the facets of suffering through the feminine voice and carries her readers through the darkness that these traumas create. It is a bewitching journey from pain to healing and from darkness to light.
With poetry centered around the voices of victims of unimaginable struggles Jessica’s chapbook gives voice to the voiceless and strength to the broken. It is a breakthrough work of strength, dignity and beauty in the face of unspeakable pain and suffering as shown in the ending to her poem entitled Period.
“Censor me.
Pseudonyms and
voice changers and
black out screens.
It won’t change a thing.
I’ll be born again from blackness.
Like Athena from Zeus’s skull.
A warrior goddess of wisdom
of courage.
And I’ll raise sword to my cause.”
