Death and contingent emotions. Disordered eating. The effects of sobriety

and alcoholism.

Where I Come From is a collection of poems exploring individual interactions,

contemplations (thoughts), conversations, and observations surrounding

experiences of neglect, poverty, eating disorders, emotional abuse, and

dysfunctional family situations. Seemingly small instances that occur in our

everyday lives often go unnoticed to some, or are noticed and disregarded,

but can perpetuate the very same habits that are detrimental to oneself.

The reflections encompassed in this exploration are descriptions of precise

isolating moments where internal alarms have sounded, but KW chose

to ignore at the time as a result of emotional conditioning. So many of

these seemingly insignificant experiences shape us; our relationships, our

insecurities, our habits, our livelihood. To read them is to gain insight and

understanding that our actions and experiences have impactful outcomes.

KW wrote this book to reflect on, identify, and unlearn the dysfunctional

patterns that have become so familiar.
