my father's eyes, my mother's rage Paperback – 10 Nov. 2023

Rose Brik's "My Father's Eyes, My Mother's Rage" is a heartbreaker of a ride; the exploration of the complexities of trauma, identity, and resilience. My copy has not left my side since I first picked it up back in the dark days of January. Through her eloquent writing, Brik captures the raw emotion of her experiences, inviting readers to confront complicated layers of human vulnerability and ideas about family. If you look into the abyss…I am still struck by the sheer beauty of Brik's storytelling on every re-read. Her ability to articulate the profound, often brutal effects of trauma is insightful and impactful. In my own work as a child protection social worker, I have often referenced this work with my team and students during university lectures.Thank you so much Rose, for sharing your journey 🙏💜

This book/poem book is beautiful written, if you had/have an unhealthy relationship with you parents and need an outlet, this is perfect. It puts how you feel onto paper and so poetically.

I bought this book after seeing several posts on social media of some of the poems in the book. After some research I found the Author and bought the book, and I’m so pleased I did.Personally the book has many extremely relatable emotions and it hits. But so beautifully written, so powerful and heartbreaking.The book itself is beautiful, one I will treasure always.Thank you Rose, this has helped me so much for realising I am not alone with these feelings and rawness.

I rarely leave reviews on Amazon but this book is so inspiring that I knew I had to. I read the entire book in one sitting because I just couldn't put it down. Rose's poetry is so raw and vulnerable that you will be completely enthralled from start to finish. Each poem was captivating and profoundly moving. Beautiful read.

Good

I found this book after coming across the author on Instagram. Each page voiced so much of the difficult relationship I have experienced with both my birth parents, I honestly could've lived in the same house as the author it felt that close. The lay out of the book is written so you start off with poems dedictaed to the mother relationship, then father, partner and then her children. It's well written, well laid out and helps you feel understood if this is something you have struggled or experienced too.

Rose’s words bring visibility, validation and light to experiences and feelings so often hidden from view.The experience of children being hurt, neglected, dismissed and starved of the love, care and protection that all children need is so often internalised and the effect of this related trauma felt for a lifetime. Rose shines a light on this and in doing so, I hope brings hope and relief and accuracy about where things went wrong, in those that failed to love, care and protect the child. Thank you Rose. I am sure your words will help in strengthening allies and healing those who were harmed. 😌
