Can toxic family secrets ever be forgiven or forgotten? J.E. Rome’s raw, visceral poetry is a personal and chronological journey through the hell of growing up in a dysfunctional family where when bad things happen, there’s no one to blame but yourself. Rome faces the skeletons in the closet head-on: from childhood trauma, abuse, and parental neglect to the soul-ravaging effects of poverty and addiction.  Graphic and hard-hitting, this unforgettable memoir, structured as a collection of poems, takes you through the darkest places of the human heart to the light of hope and truth.

J.E. ROME shares the power of acknowledging and destroying the demons of trauma through writing, sharing, forgiving, and self-care. Learn more at www.tappedpoetry.com.
