Book Description
In the 1950s, the phrase "confessional poetry" gained popularity initially with Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath, and Anne Sexton. This form of the written word gave artists a way to discuss private, painful events in their own lives without actually sharing every minute detail with the world. In My Shoes poetically portrays Lyn Crain's journey through cancer, as well as physical and emotional abuse. Her poetry is written from the heart and can be titillating or terrifying in a world that is often more black than white. Crain felt the need to use her voice to share her story and, in turn, open the discussion for women suffering under similar circumstances. Crain is grateful that domestic violence is not a taboo subject anymore, however very few poets have addressed the subject in any length. Silence enables, but by raising voices, it is possible to also raise awareness that domestic violence will no longer be accepted as the norm.

Book Description
"From Trauma to Poem" is a compilation of poems written during a time of healing from childhood and adult abusive situations, as well as background information to give the reader a better understanding from whence the poems were written. I survived physical, mental, emotional, sexual (including being sex trafficked), spiritual and cult abuse as a child, and mental, emotional, sexual, spiritual and cult abuse as an adult. God saw to it that I survived and when it was right for me to do so, to write about the affects the trauma had on my life. It is my hope that this book helps other survivors as they read and hopefully journey their own path into healing. Some of these poems are of deep and dreadful times in my healing journey and others show the spiritual awakening that was going on within my soul. While others are glimpses into my inner being, seeing for myself what I had endured. Still others are reflections as a result the trauma had on my consciousness. This journey began with a questioning of my spiritual beliefs and trying to find myself at the age of forty-nine. In the midst of this spiritual query my life was turned upside down as my friend, Ida, aided in my seeing the abuse that was happening at that time in my life. While trying to understand and heal from that, I began having nightmares about that situation, but also about things I could not understand. Had my husband, Jim not been so supportive and understanding I don't think I would have made it through learning about them and consequences the traumas had on me as my life spun seemingly out of control. These poems are expressions of the anguish and freedoms I faced as I walked out the lies I had lived, as well as the truths I was having to face. I still struggle with my relationship with God, the truths of my past and things that trigger me now, taking me back to the traumas of yesteryear. There are several poems that could have gone into categories other than where I placed them, however I felt from the context of the poem that it was best suited where I put them. My hope is that as a reader, if you ever experienced violence as a child or adult, that my poems will help you to first, see you are not alone; and second that your experiences were/are real. Many are taught to deny the abuse or pretend that all is well in order to make the abuser look like a good person, or to protect the victim from further violence. I know that was the case for me and offer to you my expressions of sympathy, with insight as to your circumstances. Your story is your own, as is mine. Regardless of spiritual beliefs or convictions, my prayer is that God works to heal you as He has for me.
