the murk of us

By Michelle von Eschen

the murk of us
a textprosé

textprosé (slang) a text prose and poetry collection examining the life and death of love in the toxic empath/narcissist dynamic

heartfelt, powerful, devastating, and poignant, the murk of us was born from the brightest and darkest parts of a bad relationship, from the honeymoon beginnings to the car wreck of an ending, told by someone who has lived through it. an honest presentation of the hypocritical messages spoken by the ones who claim to love us, in a unique format that reads both ways.

written for the lovers, the empaths, those still stuck in the murk, and the survivors: listen, your story is being told.

This deeply personal reflection by the talented Michelle von Eschen, exposes the complexities of emotional and physical pain. This experimental non-contemporary approach forces you to view a relationship from all sides with slight touches of Kurt Vonnegut and Charles Bukowski. I have read this three times and I’m blown away by the beauty of her strength to publish something so personal. – Austin A., Reader
