Empowerthy

"I tease the knots out of my hair like they’re the ones in my stomach, remembering with each stroke an easier existence." Empowerthy is a collection of poems about being a cancer survivor and living with Lynch syndrome, a genetic condition which makes people more likely to develop certain cancers in their lifetime. The poems are written to empower and empathise with readers – whether you are a cancer survivor, previvor, or simply a survivor of this world so far.
