The Morning Regaining Her Glory: A sexual trauma survivor's journey to poetic justice

To call the Morning Regaining Her Glory a collection of poetry would simply be an understatment. It is a deeply personal narrative of events, feelings, and societal commentaries woven together to illustrate the physical and emotional aftermath faced by sexual-trauma survivors. Inspired by the 2018 sexual-assault suffered by the author while living overseas, it does not aim to shock the reader, nor to sugar-coat trauma. It does not seek to fire the readers' beliefs, but to challenge them. To open one's eyes while maintaining their rights to blink freely. The Morning Regaining Her Glory is one woman's story of reclaiming her power, of attaining poetic justice at a time when legal institutions are prone to broken promises and broken scales. Though written through the lens of a survivor, the Morning Regaining Her Glory aspires to lend itself to readers of all backgrounds. It is a tale of recovery, self-discovery, and healing.
