"I've held my truth in my mouth, Heavy and bitter upon my tongue, For such a time as this." Kristin Joy (as Prose Garden) has a unique voice of trauma, insanity, and recovery and uses her words to weave intricate poems of life out of the heartbreak, abuse, and breakdown of her past. Her first published work is divided into 3 chapters, giving readers a glimpse into the events that led to the collapse and rebuilding of her life through trauma and addiction recovery. Her offerings, her words, the very pages and poems contained within, are all extensions of the art of her life.
