Richard Kors : Journals 2

A restrained and introspective exploration of abandonment, instability, identity, and forgiveness. Across four free-verse poems, the speaker traces the emotional arc of growing up without stable foundations, surviving displacement and loss, confronting the fractured versions of himself shaped by that pain, and ultimately reclaiming his narrative through forgiveness. This collection moves from longing to self-examination to release, presenting growth not as perfection, but as ownership of one's story.
