SHE WHO DESTROYS THE LIGHT: FAIRY TALES GONE WRONG
The best fairy tales are the untold stories, the ones where the powerless take back their power and emerge as the victors, but not before enduring a long, arduous battle with the self and the world. In her debut poetry collection, ‘She Who Destroys The Light: Fairy Tales Gone Wrong,’ Shahida Arabi candidly explores the themes of destruction and resurrection, unraveling the dark realities of abuse, trauma, heartbreak and the survivor’s convoluted journey to freedom, healing, creativity and self-love. This collection provides an uncensored and raw exploration into the complexities of adversity and agency, offering a rare glimpse of what it truly means to survive and rise again from the impact of emotional and psychological violence.

Great poems from a survivor no doubt! I still have flashbacks from my abusive families narcissistic rage and put downs, although I have reclaimed my own power. I believed in the ‘happy family’ and tried so hard to create unity, through being there through every crisis and hardship, yet they scapegoat and abuse me and have destroyed any desire to spend any time with them at all! I choose self-respect, my boundaries intact. Thank you for all your good work in elucidating the truths of narcissism :).
