Hunger

About the Book

Hunger: A Poetic Journey through Anorexia Nervosa is a compilation of poems and other writings that came about during my Poetry Therapy over the last two years. It delves into the inner workings of anorexia nervosa and the agony of struggling with this addiction. It is a work in progress as I continue to struggle, but have found that my life has been uplifted through the use of poetry as a way to voice the words that never could be spoken. It is my hope that my journey can help others who deal with eating disorders and come to a place of peace and wellness.
