Abstract
To Wound has the narrative progression of a formal prose novel but will be comprised of free verse poetics. To Wound is an expansion of several of my recent poetry pieces that are driven by the themes of physical and mental abuse and sexuality. The main component holding the work as a whole together is the real-life incestuous abuse of a personal friend and her struggles to come to terms with the horrific violation of her body by those who are supposed to be her protectors. To Wound is a creative work of fiction based on true events from the past of a person who is very important in my life. This person gave me permission to write this collection, knowing that her past was the main subject of the work, and also gave me complete creative freedom in how I would depict certain events within my poems related to the physical abuse she suffered. To Wound consists of thirty poems in total.
