After reading some of Wendy Rose's work you can find a few common themes in her writings. The first piece we read was "Neon Scars" and in this autobiography we read about her troubled and abusive past. One particular feeling I got when reading this was that she craved acceptance and understanding. she was unwanted by her family and unaccepted by others, even though she tried her best to fit in. This past shaped her life and I feel allowed her to become a better poet and author.
We see similar themes of vebal abuse and trauma in the other writings also. We find that her marriage was based soley on money and not love, and her husband was very distant and hurtful to her. This is another example of her lack of acceptance from others.
