Stay until Tomorrow

Stay until Tomorrow by Meghan A. Patricia Wentworth is a debut collection of autobiographical poems shedding light on trauma, heartache, love, loss, and the poet's self-healing journey. These poems are skeletons that can no longer be kept in the closet; they are secrets come to life; they are a bright light shining in the face of the abuser. They are about breaking down to come back anew; about reconciling the dark past with a hopeful future.

In "This House," the poet writes:

This was the house of my dreams

...

Where I returned in the middle of the night

...

after the assault that cracked my foundation

....

This is where I had to say goodbye

Where I must begin to build

myself from the ground up.

Writing these poems helped the poet heal from PTSD, anxiety, and depression. In sharing them, she hopes readers will find comfort and validation, and the belief that things can get better.
