Book Description
This is a visual description of the dark corners of my mind and soul. Everything written was only written once, I always kept writing, even if I messed up, these are all original pieces from my thoughts. I never planned or plotted any of these poems, I just wrote. This is a visual description of my past battles with PTSD, my recklessness & my love for violence. This is a visual description of me being buried alive, learning from loss, and the battles that take place within me every day. The loss of my father, fair weathered friends, PTSD, Hypervigilance syndrome, depression, anxiety, Agoraphobia, panic, Anger, insomnia, guilt, mistrust, nightmares, detachment and so on and so forth. Towards the end, I climb out of my hole, you can too! YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Book Description
A searing interrogation of identity, masculinity, and contemporary culture, Post Traumatic Hood Disorder's references range from Icarus to Sir Mix-A-Lot as the speaker assembles a bricolage self-portrait from the fractures of his past. Sliding between scholarly diction and slangy vernacular, Martinez's poems showcase a versatility of language and a wild-hearted poetic energy that is thoughtful, vulnerable, and distinctly American.

Book Description
Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: A, The University of Southern Mississippi , language: English, abstract: In this paper, I expand upon Cathy Caruth's theories of "trauma narratives" to examine how Clare’s poetry is an expression of survival. By joining trauma narrative with poetry, Clare carves out a niche for himself that transcends the boundaries of his poverty-stricken birth and his subsequent institutionalization. In an age that did not take for granted the precept of self-invention, Clare used poetry as a means of centering himself, of returning to his essential nature. I propose that Clare’s language offers an insider’s view of a life that was too circumscribed for his evident intelligence, imagination, and verbal acuity. Stark and haunting, Clare’s poetry insists on a certain kind of authority, exercises jurisdiction over his circumstances, and serves as a muted, posthumous triumph over the would-be eradication of identity. Literary critics have hailed John Clare’s poetry of his "asylum years" as rich, deeply emotional, and even more complex and skillful than the work of his prime. In the letters and poetry of the last 23 years of his life, Clare at once laments, rages against, and reluctantly acquiesces to his truncated circumstances. In this paper, I will argue that Clare’s poetry deserves further study as the narrative of a man imprisoned not only by the confines of an insane asylum but the conditions of his birth and the subsequent establishment of the Enclosure Laws. Written during an era that witnessed the first stirrings of mental health reform, at least in a few of the more affluent institutions, Clare’s poetry offers a view into the mind of a man and writer struggling to maintain an identity amidst the chaos.

Book Description
Based upon the testimony of Thomas Carlyle, most biographers acknowledge that Wordsworth witnessed the beheading of the journalist Antoine Gorsas in October 1793 during the Reign of Terror. But they go no further. This study reads the Poet’s reactions to the Terror in passages from The Prelude as explicitly about his twenty-three-year-old-self witnessing the gory deaths of Gorsas and others, which caused post-traumatic stress disorder and its symptoms, exacerbated by guilt for abandoning his French lover and their child a year earlier. Following a chronological arc from October 1793, when the trauma began, until its conclusion in October 1803, when Wordsworth became a poet-soldier, I examine poetic works from The Borderers (1796), the “Discharged Soldier’ (1798), the Two-Part Prelude (1799), Home at Grasmere (1800), and the Liberty sonnets (1803), to follow the Poet working through anxiety, fear, and remorse to a resolution.

Book Description
Poetry. Frances Driscoll's RAPE POEMS sink into the horror and beauty of memory without attention to pretense. The poems refuse to relent from the poet's sense of unshakable reality and do not belabor themselves with the trivialities of a misunderstanding world. Described as a "compelling...rare" collection, THE RAPE POEMS is personal reportage in common language with alarmingly precise composition and artistry. "Harrowing and obsessively skeptical, tender and private and hugely humane, these unsettling poems arrive like dispatches from the very source of our wounds" --Ralph Angel.
