Recovery is a poetry anthology that is unlike any other poetry anthology out there. As the name suggests, Recovery is about recovering from setbacks, addiction, mental health disorders, suicide ideation, childhood trauma, sexual assaults and political attacks. It is also about hope, love, friends and chosen family.
Chosen family is the reason that Melissa is here today. Without them, Melissa wouldn’t be releasing this collection. Her next collection will be called ‘Let’s talk about love and friendship’. A collection dedicated to her chosen family. Melissa said, “My chosen family saw me at my worst and never let me go. Instead of deserting, they supported me through my ordeals. That I will fully be grateful for”.
