Ports And Portals

Written amid the uncertainty of a breast cancer diagnosis and the quiet courage of recovery and survivorship, "Ports and Portals" offers an intimate glimpse into the path through illness, healing, and rediscovery as Roanoke, Virginia poet Katryn Broadoak explores how we rebuild faith in ourselves, in love, and in something greater. Though born from one woman's experience, this collection speaks to anyone who has faced profound uncertainty and allowed it to transform them. With honesty, humour, and a touch of irreverence, these poems explore the universal themes of motherhood, love, spiritual tension, and the reconstruction of faith. What emerges is both confession and revelation: a testament to endurance, awakening, and the sacred work of learning to love oneself anew. SEE MORE FROM VIRGINIA
