This poetry collection is what happens when debilitating pain becomes the main character and refuses to exit. The words unfold in hospital rooms, during sleepless nights, and in the unrelenting torment of a body that refuses to stop hurting. These poems are intimate and intense, charting the rituals of pills and procedures that blur the days together. This collection digs into the kind of suffering that rewires your sense of time, self, and sanity. It's brutal and beautiful in equal measure. The Living Affliction conveys the simple truth that, even in immense pain, the words endure.
