Have you ever personally been touched in some way by domestic violence? Do you know of a friend or relative that has suffered domestic violence? What about your neighbour and what's going on behind their closed doors? You maybe shockingly surprised if you really knew. Domestic Violence is a community problem and doesn't discriminate between race, culture or socio economic backgrounds. Domestic Violence is everyone's problem and should never be accepted or tolerated. Putting these words together on paper was not easy for me. It took time to put my thoughts on paper and sometimes the emotions were still too raw so I closed my computer and waited for the strength to continue you may or may not feel the emotion behind the words you may or may not understand the sentiment behind the words but one thing's for sure after reading this book if you weren't aware of Domestic Violence before you certainly are now. To read the full story of the life and journey from the perspective of an abused wife and mother read "Domestic Diary" True Story of Emily Brown.

In the 1950s, the phrase "confessional poetry" gained popularity initially with Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath, and Anne Sexton. This form of the written word gave artists a way to discuss private, painful events in their own lives without actually sharing every minute detail with the world. In My Shoes poetically portrays Lyn Crain's journey through cancer, as well as physical and emotional abuse. Her poetry is written from the heart and can be titillating or terrifying in a world that is often more black than white. Crain felt the need to use her voice to share her story and, in turn, open the discussion for women suffering under similar circumstances. Crain is grateful that domestic violence is not a taboo subject anymore, however very few poets have addressed the subject in any length. Silence enables, but by raising voices, it is possible to also raise awareness that domestic violence will no longer be accepted as the norm.

Poems Exploring the Issues of Domestic ViolenceGi Dhanoa has been writing poetry since she was 11 years old, scribbling poems at the back of her maths books in high school. As a child Gi was a very creative young lady, through her words. English Literature was her favourite subject, as it gave her the freedom of interpretation of text and dialogue. This would then allow her to develop her own style. This love continued throughout Gi's adult life and proved essential during the need for an expressive outlet, whilst experiencing volatile relationships. She endured both violent and mental abuse for many years silently. Gi takes the readers through a journey of her own experiences and creatively places herself in others' stories bringing a dynamic view of what domestic violence and mental abuse means to both men and women. "Let my words give you courage and hope. There is so much to gain from speaking up and sharing what you have been subjected to, in order to support others who may need your wisdom to set themselves free" G.D.

Domestic Violence is an ugly reality for far too many. Its effects change and destroy individuals, families and communities. After having her family, home and relationship with her children torn apart by the actions of her abuser, this survivor has opted to tell her story, through poetry, in her journey to reclaim herself and redesign her future. The African Proverb says until the story is told by the lion, the hunt will always glorify the hunter. With art as a tool for healing and a path to promote wholeness, Kim hopes to assure those caught in the throes of the insidious cycle of Domestic Violence that it is ok to acknowledge what they feel and it is ok to disrupt the comfort of those around them and tell their whole truth. If we are to ever live in a world free of #MeToo, there must be occasions where victims' and survivors' stories are heard and where perpetrators (and those who know while saying nothing) are held accountable for their actions. For some, like Kim, the reality of Domestic Violence does not easily culminate in a moment of absolute victory. For some, it looks like 20+ years of various types of abuse. For some, it looks like restraining orders that "can't" be executed and countless court appearances. For some, the journey looks like a judgment overturned in favor of their abuser. For some, the journey looks like living in fear while never telling anyone. For some, the journey looks like leaving, returning and leaving again. For some, the victory looks like shaking off the dust and getting up, again and again and again. If you're taking up this book to read and you have been directly impacted by the ugly reality of Domestic Violence, even if you are a victim, YOU ARE A SURVIVOR. Perhaps this will assist you in finding your voice. Maybe, in these pages, you will find community. Welcome to Dust Bunnies and Sparrows.
