Poetry

The mind can be both a beautiful and terrible thing, and there is no relationship more complex than the one we have with ourselves. This collection of poetry takes you from the deepest pits of depression to the endless pools of power and creativity those depths can contain. With her first book, Trapped, Latasha Schaller chained herself to her mental illness, allowing it to become the lens through which she viewed herself and her relationships with others. Unburied is her mind's journey through that pain and confusion to the self-acceptance she once thought impossible. Latasha has poured her soul into this collection, using each word to heal the cracks within herself and each poem to face all she once ran from. An unflinching introspection on mental illness, family, and the growth that can happen when you allow detachment from both, Unburied is the culmination of years of rage, despair, and love.
