First Death, poems are concerned with childhood, childhood sexual trauma, incest, and rape. II. New Ways to Die comprises of poems concerned with marriage, traditions, and breaking free from them, or dying to them. III. Resurrection contains poems that celebrate life after trauma and issues that continue throughout recovery, which allow survivors to move forward.
