Poetry. One's personal ways to cope with anxiety, surviving the pains from sexual assault, and learning to deal with emotional and mental conflict are among those subject LA“N writes about in BLIZZARDS, SWORDS & TEARS. Wishing to empower others, encourage those who want to share their experiences, and ease the pain with those who struggle themselves are the hopes of this book. Sexual assault and mental struggle have for far too long been taboo subjects, but this book meets them head-on. It comes with tears, and it is reviving. BLIZZARDS, SWORDS & TEARS is a manifesto of the physical, the sexual, as well as the mental, trials and triumphs, of a young woman growing up in a young world with still much to learn.
