Tut Yashar’s Domestic Silence is a raw, fearless, and deeply moving collection of poems that lays bare the trauma and courage of a woman escaping domestic abuse while finding her strength through motherhood and survival. The book reads like a diary of pain and rebirth, taking readers through moments of despair, fear, and resilience with unflinching honesty.
Yashar’s verses are stripped of pretense; they pulse with emotion, vulnerability, and truth. Poems like Cry Less, Knife, and Bedtime Story reveal the terror of living with violence, while others such as Life Around the Corner and Bloom shine with hope and maternal love. Her imagery is vivid, often tied to nature such as wind, birds, and water, mirroring both confinement and freedom.
The collection doesn’t just document abuse; it transforms it into empowerment. Yashar’s courage to speak out becomes an act of liberation not only for herself but for countless others silenced by fear. Despite the pain, her tone evolves into one of quiet triumph.
Domestic Silence is not easy to read; it’s haunting and intimate, but it is necessary. It reminds us that poetry can be both a wound and a weapon, a space where survival becomes art. Tut Yashar’s debut is nothing short of extraordinary.
