Happily Ever Afters, Slaying Dragons, and Other Sleights of Hand K A Moore

This collection is a journey of abuse, trauma, and grief through poetry. Divided into 5 parts, this collection visits each stage of drowning-surprise, going under, unconscious, ictus, and casualty-drawing attention to the serious and deadly reality of mental health. K. A. Moore turns her pain into something beautiful through her raw and riveting first-hand account. Through poetry and prose, she weaves the story of her experience with childhood abuse, sexual assault, heartbreak, and everything between. HAPPILY EVER AFTERS, SLAYING DRAGONS, AND OTHER SLEIGHTS OF HAND brings the darkness into the light and gives a voice to the many others like her who may not feel like they have a voice.
