Produktbeschreibung

Do not be afraid

dear heart

to feel

You are worth honoring. You are worth loving. Do you dare look beneath the surface of your heart-to access the stories you've tucked away, the emotions you feel right now? What if you don't like what you see? And what if you do?

The Uncovering voices the internal-and perfectly human-struggle, the hidden terrors of low self-worth, and the devastating beauty of honesty. Offered with refreshing courage and candor, these poems guide you to stop hiding-from yourself, in all your beautiful mess-and recognize the darkest parts of yourself only when they are held up to the light.

The Uncovering reminds you:

· It is okay to be scared when you look at your scars. They aren't beautiful yet-but wait.

· What we want, truly, is always beneath the surface of striving.

· Life isn't defined by wistfulness and longing but by abandoning all excuses and stepping forward again and again.

· We can be mysteries to ourselves, and the journey of catching glimpses can fuel what is most true in us.

Whom The Uncovering is perfect for:

· Women and men of all ages who feel the weight of personal struggle (shame, self-contempt/low self-esteem, pride, envy, fear) and want to feel less alone.

· Teenagers who feel overwhelmed by life's expectations and crave understanding and hope.

· Teachers and parents who are excited to discuss poetry in the classroom or at home.
