She<\/p>\n<p>fearlessly tackles issues of intimidation and discrimination, including playground and corporate<\/p>\n<p>bullying, domestic violence, marginalisation, gender inequity, mental health and suicide.<\/p>\n<p>Yet while the writing is raw and the darker side of human nature is being exposed, there is an<\/p>\n<p>underlying sense of hope. The underdog is beaten down but not defeated and has the resilience to<\/p>\n<p>bounce back and rise again.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly Van Nelson is a poetry and fiction writer, wife, mother and managing director on the<\/p>\n<p>executive board of the world\u2019s leading provider of staffing solutions. She is a fresh voice on the<\/p>\n<p>literary scene and one that demands to be heard.<\/p>\n<p>Graffiti Lane is a powerful debut collection of poetry that will stir the spirit and speak to the<\/p>\n<p>heart.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-613833\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/71jIBZq0B8L.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"922\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>POETRY: Graffiti Lane: A Poetry Collection by Kelly Van Nelson. www.kellyvannelson.com &amp; On Amazon here &gt;&gt; www.amazon.co.uk\/Graffiti-Lane-Kelly-Van-Nelson FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM | TWITTER | PINTEREST\u00a0 | YOUTUBE Graffiti Lane: A Poetry Collection by Kelly Van Nelson Graffiti Lane looks at life through an unfiltered lens.With unflinching honesty, Kelly Van Nelson offers an intensely personal perspective on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":613834,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-613831","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ulster-rugby"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613831","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=613831"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613831\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":613835,"href":"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613831\/revisions\/613835"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/613834"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=613831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=613831"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=613831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
