Dramatic descriptions in this poem, Lea as this journey takes us from the darkness, through flight, through betrayal and eventually to freedom. Loved this one and the emotions, for you, behind it. Good luck in the contest.
cheers,

I wonder if this could all result in "a jail cell's key"? The freedom you now feel from releasing this book and your pent-up anger and resentment over so many decades is palpable. Your free verse evolves dramatically from the darkness of your "paralytic flailing" to the light of exposure and liberation. Well done, Lea, and good luck! Debbie PS cr(esc)endo

Your poetry is always interesting and worth reading several times. I can here bits and pieces of you story intertwined in this with word like "silent screams" ,"poisonous voices", generational madness. Words written true sets you free.

My favorite line.
poisonous voices flashing flat backs
a betrayal painted in reckless smiles

This reminds me of social media! This is a unique piece you have crafted for this contest, I enjoyed it well.
God bless,
Steve
