Maria Trinidad Herrera had her first Aortic Dissection surgery in 2009. The fears and questions became overwhelming. The difficulty with the diagnosis and the lack of knowledge of some medical professionals worked against her. If found on time, what could have been addressed with a stent or observation led to a complicated and dangerous emergency open-heart surgery that forever changed her life. The psychological traumas after the surgery became a daunting chore and led her to find a healing path in poetry. With this second edition of her first book, she shares how poetry continues to heal and fortify her spirit in the most vulnerable moments of her life as an Aortic Dissection survivor.
