Description:
Dawn P. Harrell explores loss, wonder, love, and hope with truly heartfelt pieces of poetry and prose that touch on so many important topics, all of which she shares with you through her carefully crafted words.
Brief description: Dawn P. Harrell calls Southern Mississippi home where she works full-time and loves being outside. Dawn loves spending time with her 2 grown sons, her daughter-in-law, and 3 rescue dogs. A writer by hobby, she started sharing her personal writing at the encouragement of several friends, and in 2018 Dawn created a Facebook page, aptly named, Seasons of a Sewer Girl. Her writing comes from experience and much of it tends to have a darker feel to it, but that's because the words are her journey, her truth. Dawn doesn't try and hide her scars, she puts them out there for all to see. She shares her vulnerabilities and deepest thoughts to let others, who may have experienced abuse or have struggled with self-worth, know they are not alone. Dawn is shamelessly nerdy, a longtime lover of the night, and when she's not working or writing, you can find her at 3 a.m. looking at the stars and contemplating her next written piece or watching classic horror movies.
