Erin Anthony

Hickory – Hickory poet Erin Anthony is pleased to announce the release of her anticipated second poetry collection, “Weeds in the Concrete,” published by Redhawk Publications. This collection delves into the complexities of family dynamics and the emotional toll they can take, inviting readers into a world of raw honesty and vulnerability.

Building on the foundation laid in her first collection, “The Mother, Lover, Child and Me (2020),” Anthony’s latest work represents a deeper, more transparent exploration of her personal journey. “While my first book addressed the challenges of navigating relationships without a blueprint for what a healthy one looks like, ‘Weeds in the Concrete’ takes a darker turn,” says Anthony. “It’s fully transparent and focuses on my experiences with my soon-to-be ex-husband and the trials I’ve endured.”

With eleven years of writing experience, Anthony has honed her voice, making it a source of solace for many. “This book will resonate with women, wives, partners, and mothers,” she adds. “It also offers support for those grappling with bipolar disorders and mental illness, which contributed to my divorce. I want readers to know that if you feel lost in the cracks of concrete, you are not alone.”

Weeds in the Concrete poignantly reminds us of the resilience of the human spirit amidst heartbreak and turmoil. It challenges societal norms surrounding family and relationships while providing a safe space for readers to reflect on their experiences.
