Vampirical Verse

This book is for the broken, the damaged and scarred.

This book is for the walking dead who have learnt to live as best they can with hollow hearts and gaping wounds.

"They (the poems) are straight from the heart, soul and gut. They are never trite, never overblown but wonderfully, articulate and rich in imagery." S Moore

Broken people get through the experience of brokenness and then have to adapt to living with it and its effects on the other side.

To deny we are broken is wrong. To try and forget the horror is wrong. Who we are today has been forged out of the trauma we have been though. Our lives now take a different, somewhat darker turn.

Vampirical Verse reflects the emotional, mental and spiritual fallout from cancer. These poems are an attempt by Freya Pickard to express the inexpressible.
