Detaching Roots: Poetry and Prose / Beverly Maier

Detaching Roots is a collection of poetry divided into four sections: “Detaching, Hurting, Healing, and Falling.”The first section of this book tells a story of survival through a childhood of confusion, sexual abuse, and neglect. It is a beautifully penned collection that walks the reader through the cycles of destruction, heartbreak, healing, and love that we often feel as we grow from the traumas and triumphs of our lives.In the next section titled “Hurting”, the author deals with the pain and anguish that has grown from the soil of her past. It has spiraled into weeds and thorns of heartache. In this section, the author spends time reflecting on the things that have contributed to her heartbreak: mental health, toxic relationships, loss, and the conflicting emotions of trying to work through trauma.In the next section, Healing, the entire chapter shouts for hope, empowerment, and new beginnings. A beautiful example of shedding the pain of the past and allowing it to transform you into whom you’ve always wanted to be. The author bravely addresses the very topics that have caused immense transformation in her life. As the title of the book suggests, sometimes, we have to detach the roots of our lives. Sometimes, we need to completely uproot whom we surround ourselves with and who we are in order to let go of what hurts and what hinders us from growing and healing.The last section, “Falling”, discusses the beautiful potential of life after the storm. It shows the promise of a new beginning, no matter what we had to do to get there. We may have had to detach roots, reinvent ourselves, and let go of what hurts. But there is a beautiful new opportunity to prosper.Maier crafts her poetry with a blunt voice that aids in her imagery. She is raw with reality without being bitter. There’s fight in her words without overwhelming the reader with anger.Detaching Roots tackles a loss of girlhood, where the author is stranded on the other side of innocence, both longing to go home and determined to move forward. It is a collection that will give you hope for the future!
