From multi-award-winning author Maranda Russell, 'Can't Keep Me Down' is a chapbook featuring poetry and short prose on a range of subjects, but flowing through all the poetry and writing there lies underlying themes of determination, perseverance, trauma, healing, and the importance of becoming a survivor. Maranda's writing is blunt, often brutally honest, and seemingly nihilistic at points, but if you look closely, you will find a thread of hope underneath it all.
