Incinerated Innocence: Poems to Burn

Deveree Extein

INCINERATED INNOCENCE is an intimate journey of healing and self-forgiveness. From the ashes, the poet is reborn yet again - but this time, with a thirst for justice. This collection embraces growth, reclaims power, and tells the truth of the author's relationship trauma. INCINERATED INNOCENCE is raw, honest, and heart-wrenching. A story of survival, and a testament to those that they are not alone.
From INCINERATED INNOCENCE :
These poems are proof / of the trauma I endured for him / keeping a record of the havoc he wreaked / upon my once quiet life / I'll use his lies as lines / and his secrets in stanzas / since my heart wasn't safe with him / his sins won't be / either / I'm transcribing all his transgressions / leaving warning signs / for the others / I am the patron saint of revenge / painting this town red / with his blood
