    About this ebook

    Facing life with a disability is not only challenging, but also extremely draining emotionally and physically. Such struggles have been a part of author Colette Kordays life for years. But instead of drowning in self-pity, she has chosen to express her fears, doubts, ups, and downs through poetry.

    Filled with warmth and love, Expressional Poetry and Essays speaks to the myriad of emotions involved in living with disabilities. Korday touches upon the simple joys of life from the glint of Christmas lights to a phone call with her adult daughter. She also addresses the challenges she faces, from daily pain to struggles with addiction.

    Above all, Kordays poems reflect peace and hope, and definitively show that living life to its fullest is not only possible, but the best victory of all.
