The Art of Breathing is a contemporary collection of poetry written for and inspired by women who have been oppressed and overshadowed in today's society. This collection deals with sensitive themes surrounding topics such as abuse, domestic violence, and related situations. These poems are specific to the lives of those who find solace in them and who can relate to them. They are meant to speak for those who cannot and be a voice for the women who have been silenced. Do not live in fear, and let your voice be heard. This one's for you. For the one quietly suffering in the back of the room.
