Severe Silence: A Narrative in Poetry and Collage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

by Ava Carmel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The theme of Severe Silence<\/em> can be summed up in one word: SubduWed. A passionate young woman marries a jealous, controlling man. Reassuring and placating him during his outbursts of rage, she attempts to be a \u201cproper\u201d wife, but finds herself defeated. She finally gathers the strength to escape, and battling fear and self-doubt, begins a journey of rediscovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ava Carmel tells her story of self-awakening and healing visually, in collages, which are intriguing, spare, and powerful. Short poems and journal entries help create a coherent narrative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
