Molly S. Hillery

Molly S. Hillery is a trauma survivor and mental health advocate, widely known for her bestselling poetry book 'bare roots,' published in 2017. She started publicly blogging in 2015 and has had work featured in Huffington Post, USA Today, Upworthy, The Mighty, and various other recovery websites.

Molly's work is raw, vulnerable, and deeply descriptive. She writes about trauma and mental illness with openness, and uses vivid imagery to help readers connect to parts of themselves that need tending to. Her intention is to provide relatability and healing to anyone who engages with her poetry. Her second collection 'The Medicine That Burns,' provides a painfully honest narrative surrounding the ups and downs of healing.

One of Molly’s favorite aspects of sharing her journey through writing is the ability to connect with others and hear their stories. To connect with Molly, visit her Instagram @molly_hillery_poetry, or stop by her official website www.mollyhillery.com.
