She Wasn't Damaged

"The walls of Jericho
Survived six rounds
>The Israelites didn't bang their heads against the wall
Or risk their lives
They took their time
>And despite the curves life throws
Or perhaps because
The bricks would come tumbling down
And fall into place
>Only then,
As they seize the bull
They would grab it by the horns
And expose the lies"
- "Have Faith" from She Wasn't Damaged

Raw and authentic, deep and visceral, She Wasn't Damaged is a roadmap of survival - a journey of a woman who gradually comes to terms with her own vulnerabilities.
Through her poetry, Vardi gives voice to victims: the abused, the dissociated, and the traumatized, while exploring themes of introspection, helplessness, anger, and justice.
