To Feel Everything and Nothing

A year before the awful time,

I would tilt my head far back to take in the sky.

I imagined that the clouds seen floating above

had traveled a long way from Asia or South America,

gliding over seas just to greet this

overly enthusiastic African child.

To Feel Everything and Nothing is a poetry collection that stares into the hollow eyes of grief and points to hope beyond thought and feeling. It is poured out from the heart of a human trafficking survivor whose journey of healing is met with deep losses, profound revelations, and ultimately freedom from the chains of memory.
