Forgotten Memories Fiona Collective

Trauma survivor Fiona Bachoroski once again shares the anguish and struggles of her internal Dissociative Identity Disorder collective. This grouping of poems illustrates the anger, depression, self-hatred, and frustration experienced by system alters during one of the most challenging times in Bachoroski's life. Written over the approximate two year period of 2003-2004, this poetry digs deep into the author's horror-ridden soul and reaches the bounds of emotional suffering. This book provides insight into the authors' strife and fury pertaining to past traumas. Bachoroski and company emit genuine emotions in vivid detail in "Pleas of an Angry Existence," representing the beginning of their search for proper diagnosis, which was finally received in 2016. This second installment of Bachoroski's "Forgotten Memory" series is a challenging and raw read and includes reference to self-harm and details of gore, yet is clearly a powerful read for trauma poetry followers.
