Unhomed: A Collection of Poems about Surviving after Rape - Paperback

by Alena Klee (Author)

UNHOMED is a raw glimpse into what surviving after being raped may look like. Author Alena Klee shares their intimate, vulnerable pieces of work that were created in the days, weeks, months, and years following their rape. The book is in seven parts, each noting a different phase in living after being raped. Each poem offers a retelling of powerful, intense emotions that Klee experienced while trying to rebuild their safety, and sanity. What started as a coping skill has now been transformed into an unfiltered, telling collection of words to help other victims and survivors begin to find peace, hope, and healing. Klee's specific experience is not retold in detail within the poems, intentionally leaving enough vagueness for survivors everywhere to find their own relatable solace. UNHOMED is a must read for those who have experienced sexual violence, for those who love someone who have experienced sexual violence, and for those who care about ending sexual violence.
