Things That Did Not Kill Me

Some things break us. Some remake us. And some simply do not kill us. Things That Did Not Kill Me is a collection of poems about surviving the unsurvivable—and discovering love, laughter, wonder, and hope on the other side. With vulnerability, dark humor, tenderness, and defiance, Becca RK explores childhood trauma, heartbreak, motherhood, faith, longing, loss, and the complicated business of becoming whole. Raw, funny, and deeply human, these poems bear witness to what it means to hurt deeply and keep reaching for life anyway. For anyone who has survived enough to say: I’m still here.
