Drowning Back to Life

In her debut book of poetry, Elise Emersyn distills moments of human experience from the confusing and chaotic to the terrifying and tragic to the beautiful and profound. She examines family, relationships, abuse, struggles with body image and confidence, and the influence of the surrounding world with intelligence, wit, and ferocity.

Description

Drowning Back to Life takes the reader on an emotional journey both heartbreaking and restorative. On these pages, Emersyn proves it is entirely possible to self-combust, and that sometimes the only way to survive is to drown.
