From victim to Queens Award winner, Butterfly Drinks Crocodile Tears written by Naz Knight to help others pursue a better future. A poetry book with purpose! Naz Knight repurposed her trauma writing this anthology inspiring self-improvement and personal growth. Butterfly Drinks Crocodile Tears is a poetry, prose and art book published by NINE RED Presents...(CIC).
Imagine Naz, in a book! That is what you have with this anthology and the autobiographical novel Darkness Makes Sense in the Light, which is the story behind the poetry featured in Butterfly Drinks Crocodile Tears.
Naz says, I never chose to write; words chose me to be their writer! As a result, this powerful collection of poems, prose and artwork, testifies to her unique relationship with words. The anthology challenges preconceptions about women labelled victims. Naz refuses to be defined by this experience. Therefore, Naz invites you to view her world as she tries to become all she wants to become; as she pursues a changeless sense of who she is; where she has come from and seeks to reach the place she wants to go. Rather than a survivor s story and more journey of self-discovery; Naz encourages the reader to travel with her, almost as if they are a silent companion, walking with her on their own personal journey of self-discovery.
