The Vines of a Grape: Letters to a Rapist PreOrder

The Vines of a Grape: Letters to a Rapist is a searing and courageous collection of poems written as letters—addressed not only to the assailant, but also to the body, the voice, and the self that survived. With unflinching honesty, the poet traces the difficult terrain of trauma, the silence that follows, and the slow, deliberate act of reclaiming what was taken.

Each poem grows like a vine—sometimes tangled in pain, sometimes blossoming with resilience—revealing the survivor’s journey from violation to empowerment. What begins as testimony of hurt transforms into a declaration of strength, as she reclaims her body, redefines her worth, and rediscovers the power of her voice.

Both intimate and universal, this collection is not only a reckoning but also a restoration: an offering of hope to survivors everywhere, and a testament to the way poetry can transform wounds into roots of healing.
