The Peach & Her Poetry

The Peach & Her Poetry is a fearless, intimate memoir-in-verse chronicling one survivor's journey to reclaim her body, voice, and spirit after sexual assault. Through unflinching poetry, courtroom testimony, diary-style reflections, and cultural critique, Tiara Ileisha Singleton bears witness to the realities of life after rape: the rage no one prepares you for, the body's memory, the betrayals of trusted individuals, and the failures of institutions tasked with justice.
This collection is both reckoning and reclamation. Moving through grief, hypervigilance, anger, and systemic injustice, while also embracing empowerment, spiritual affirmation, and grounded self-sovereignty.
Through stark honesty, the poet turns trauma into testimony. From violation to voice, the "Peach" becomes a symbol of personal sovereignty, boundaries, and reclamation. Interwoven are affirmations, prayers, and reflections on healing, offering both a roadmap and a witness text for survivors seeking recognition, truth, and renewal.
Written for survivors, thrivers, and those willing to bear witness, The Peach & Her Poetry is a spiritual manifesto, a declaration of resilience, and a testament: that survival is no accident.
