Overview

Kintsugi is a collection of poems written from the heart and soul of someone and for anyone who has experienced trauma. This collection is for all of us. The poems are partly a memoir of a young woman's journey but also encompass universal truths and experiences of joy and heartache. Furthermore, this collection revolves around the Japanese art of Kintsugi-the practice of mending broken pottery with gold, silver, or platinum lacquer to create a unique piece of art highlighting its 'imperfections' in a way that is beautiful. Kintsugi is a meditation on the practice of taking the broken pieces of ourselves, embracing our imperfections, and creating a more expansive and resilient version of ourselves. We should not attempt to hide our scars but endeavor to emphasize these 'flaws' to show how we have used the salves of learning, growing, and healing to create a masterpiece.
