Finding myself in the words, then losing myself again.... “Emerging: The Collective Poems 2000-2011” is the second chapbook of original poetry Indianapolis, Indiana-based writer Leslie Benson, a journalist by trade and a poet and songwriter by nature, has released since her 2004 self-published debut, “Why I Dyed My Hair Red.” Spanning a decade of vulnerability, naivety, empowerment and enlightenment, this collection will give you a glimpse into a woman’s heart as she tells tales of the lives that have touched hers, and the world she has come to both fear and embrace.
