Soul Rape Soul Rage Joshua Heath

This raw portrayal of a young man's sexual abuse is both visceral and shocking. Through poetry and prose Joshua presents the story of his life and the images are often painful. His themes encompass abuse, racism, faith, justice, family, and friendship. Joshua's first book, Shopping Cart Boy, was released in 2018 on his seventeenth birthday. From the same season as his previous work, Soul Rape Soul Rage reveals the deeper moments of his sexual abuse with unblinking honesty. NOTE: These poems are graphic and are not intended for all audiences."A book of stark truth-telling. It takes great strength to write words of vulnerability and share one's story. This is a must read for anyone that seeks to understand the impact faceless policy can have on the individual." -Aaron Paquette, Edmonton Councillor, award-winning artist, writer, and speaker.
