Blizzards, Swords & Tears is a raw, confessional debut poetry collection charting the physical, sexual and mental trials and triumphs of a young woman growing up in a young world.
Writing under the pen name Laòn, Laura Amalie Ohmann Nielsen addresses personal coping mechanisms for anxiety, the trauma of sexual assault, and the emotional struggles of adolescence.
Unflinching yet tender, the poems aim to empower readers, break taboos and offer solace to those who recognise their own experiences on the page. The collection announces a bold young voice unafraid to talk about weakness as a form of strength.
