An Undivided Heart

Arts & Literature

“Showing our vulnerable self is one of the great tasks of being human. But having vulnerability forced upon us and then being exploited and misused is amongst the most unbearable of wounds. Cory Standinger’s poetry unflinchingly dares to walk us through the pain and the scarred places left in the wake of suffering abuse and asks us to understand as best as possible what he and so many others carry.”
