Using the words of dead poets, this fully-illustrated book of erasure poetry explores the multi-temporalities of life after trauma and living with PTSD.
Told through text messages, erasure poetry, self-reporting questionnaires, layered imagery, and illustration, Saint Agatha Mother Redeemer takes you on a journey across the unsteady waters of life in the aftermath.
Saint-Michel's multi-temporal approach explores the myriad ways in which trauma can affect a person's life, and the various paths one can take towards healing and self-discovery.
Written with honesty, vulnerability, and raw emotion, Saint Agatha Mother Redeemer is a must-read for anyone interested in the transformative power of poetry, healing after trauma, or the intersection of art and personal experience.
