RIB CAGE BARS: The Poetry and Memoir of a Foster Child - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In Rib Cage Bars, Angie Knott invites you into the fragmented world of a teenager deemed a ward of the state of Pennsylvania. This unique collection is a time capsule of resilience, featuring twenty-five original poems written in the heat of the moment—presented chronologically and with minimal editing to preserve the raw, unvarnished voice of a girl navigating a system that often felt like a cage.

Woven between these verses is a heart-wrenching memoir that maps the physical and emotional geography of foster care. From shifting locations to the internal distress of displacement, Knott provides a visceral timeline of events paired with the perspective of a young woman discovering her own underlying inner strength.

Rib Cage Bars is more than a memoir; it is a rhythmic reclamation of a life once documented only in case files. It is a testament to the power of the written word to act as both a shield and a bridge toward healing.
