Biting Thorns Off Roses is a transmutation of deep pain.

Through poetry, Hoffman strives to not only remove, but to also intimately examine the masks we all wear to hide from the world; and perhaps most importantly, the ones we wear to hide from ourselves.

Hoffman brings into question the ways in which we, as individuals and as a society, approach trauma. She shakes the very foundations of our judgements around mental health, challenging us all to walk through our own suffering with open minds and empathetic hearts.

A collection of work designed to thoughtfully carry readers on a journey, from hopelessness to hope. Biting Thorns Off Roses lyrically illustrates what pain has to teach those of us with the courage to sit still in the dark,

and listen.
