Wait till Im Dead is an eye-opening memoir, using both poetry and prose, for anyone who has ever wondered about their own self-identity. Through the authors journey as a child questioning her mothers love to the loss of a twenty-year relationship, to the memory- and self-esteem-destroying effects of epilepsy, she draws the reader into a world of pain and heartache. Using poetry to describe the intense emotions of her thoughts and behaviors, Eva shows how she overcomes that pain and leads readers on a journey to better understanding not only her life but their own.
From her violent and painful childhood to the sexual abuse she experienced at the hands of a family friend, she draws us into her world so that we understand who she is and the struggles she has overcome to get to where she is today. Raised by a mother who finally accepted who she was as an adult and a father who was not emotionally involved, the author poignantly chronicles her life up to the present.
The poems in Wait till Im Dead are intense and the stories heart-wrenching, but the way the author surrounds herself with life is amazingreaders pull for her every step of the way.
