Book excerpt: Stronger Than The Master: Poems of manipulation and escape chronicles an abusive relationship in three parts. Lauren Geertsen explores the topics of patriarchal power, gaslighting, misogyny, and the pressure to remain silent. Love, betrayal, self-trust, and healing are at the heart of her poetry. Lauren wrote this raw collection of poetry in the midst of, and at the end of, a manipulative relationship. The first section of poems reflect being in love with her abuser, and in the second section she wakes up to the reality of the relationship. The last section is a call for truth, change, and sisterhood. REVOLUTION Maybe it happened because I didn't hear it from the other women. So I will tell the other women.
