Surviving to Thriving: The poetry and artwork of rape and sexual abuse survivors

Click on the link above to read poetry written by survivors.

I am SO not a poet. Writing begins and ends with prose for me, but a lot of survivors do like to write poetry to express their feeings, so I thought it would be nice to create a collection here. Click on the link above to read poems written by survivors or share your own.

Due to time constraints, I am no longer accepting artwork for this site.
If you would like to display an artwork of your journey through sexual violence, I do urge you to take part in the Survivor Mural Project.

Here are a couple of links to survivor-creativity events and sites:
