Out of the Woods - Fransivan MacKenzie - 2020
About the Book
Out of the Woods is a mystifying wanderer's tale told in different voices. It contains the whims of people held captive by their miseries, their courage to seek peace at all cost, and their fragile hold of serenity after a long journey on winding roads. Exploring highly stigmatized topics in the society, this poetry and prose collection dares to expose the horrors that happen in the safest of places and the heaven that can be plucked out of the darkness.
This chapbook acknowledges that we are all shackled by things we would rather not talk about — that home, sometimes, is where the hurt is; that escaping is more on where you are running to than what you are running from; and that freedom is not in the yawn of a highway but in the cavern of a forgiving palm.
Reader's discretion is advised.
