Reclaiming Myself by Lynndel Schuurman

In Reclaiming Myself, she reveals a collection of poetry that reflects her feelings of lost innocence, shame, and misery—everything she endured and overcame. Her poems capture the pain, grief, and trauma of a painful past, but also impart a sense of empowerment that encourages readers to rise out of the darkness and reclaim themselves.

Sexual abuse must be one of the most damaging and harrowing traumas one can go through. According to several studies all around the world, sexual abuse is grossly underreported, and there is very little support given to victims. Often they suffer in silence, too terrified to speak up and seek help. Lynndel Schuurman knows all too well how it feels like to live with that kind of scar.

In Reclaiming Myself, she reveals a collection of poetry that reflects her feelings of lost innocence, shame, and misery—everything she endured and overcame. Her poems capture the pain, grief, and trauma of a painful past, but also impart a sense of empowerment that encourages readers to rise out of the darkness and reclaim themselves. Through these poems, Schuurman hopes to educate others about the effect of sexual abuse and to give those who are silent a voice. “I offer hope and possibility of freedom. My journey is echoed through my poetry,” she says.

Reclaiming Myself was featured in LitFire Publishing’s booth at Frankfurt Book Fair 2017. The event was held in Frankfurt am Main, Germany from October 11 to 15, gathering thousands of participants from the literary scene.
