Bøker av Anna Schenck

BIOAnna Schenck was born a free spirit into a life engulfed in restraint. Growing up in the PNW on an island in Washington state with her 2 siblings, Anna found herself surrounded by a small community and large religious influence. Words became an early escape from a life of confusion and chaos. She immersed herself in literature and film that allowed her to see a life beyond the little island she called home. By age 7, Anna was writing to make sense of her life experiences and navigate her way into the world. SYNOPSISIn her first full length publication, Hurricane Girl, Anna chronicles her life of wild abandon, in a delicate but chaotic rhythm. Anna isn't afraid to expose the truth of self-exploration and difficulty in maintaining self-acceptance. Anna will take you to the darkest hours of insecurity then to the sincerest moments of humility, all with a veil of cynical nurturing that only a woman who has lived a lot of life in a short time, can bring.Anna has found her way back to that small island in Washington with a new sense of vigor. She is working as a nurse, continuing her education, still writing her way through life's challenges, and raising a fierce young woman to use her words too.PRAISE:¿"The name Anna Schenck is defined exactly how it sounds - Anna: a sweet little girl living in the clouds with daffodils in her hair, and Schenck: stabbing an inmate to the ICU with a toothbrush rubbed to a sharp point by prison flooring. Anna uses these tools to describe her journey through late teenage angst and arriving at an exhausted finish line of love, worry, and motherhood. She explains her tales moment by moment like a canary in a coal-mine; screaming when the air is toxic and then lullaby you to safety in a way that only your mother can hum her classic tune as if she is the sandman bringing you to sleep."¿¿Emma Bianchi, Poetry Laboratory
