Trish MacEnulty is the author of four novels, a short story collection, and a couple of memoirs. She delivers workshops on writing as a tool for personal and planetary transformation.
Therapists have long known that writing can be a valuable tool for healing a variety of psychological wounds whether from traumatic events, loss, abuse, addictions or self-destructive actions. In this book, author Trish MacEnulty analyzes the healing properties of writing and then introduces techniques for transforming therapeutic work into writing of artistic merit.
The poems, essays, rants, and stories in this anthology were written in the immediate aftermath of the most contentious election that any of us can remember. They represent a visceral and often raw reaction, with contributions from established (and even iconic) writers, and we have contributions from young people just discovering their voice.
