Contrary to Rumor, I'm Wonderfully Made! : Poetry as a life preserver

Many life stories are represented in this book that is presented as a poetic autobiography. The author uses the poetic "e;voice"e; to announce that we are all "e;wonderfully made"e; despite being told or treated otherwise. Although there is anger, pain and protest on the pages, there is also love, pleasure and power included. The book is both cultural autobiography and poetry therapy. It is both sad and sassy. The goal is for the reader to leave the work with a new sense of priceless value. What is most interesting is that the author gets to your heart and brain with powerful poetry that can assist you with self expression and empowerment.
