Laurence Neal Pokras is a raw and fearless storyteller whose personal journey has shaped every page he writes. Born into emotional chaos, scarred by trauma, and hardened by survival, Pokras channels his past into stories that are brutally honest, darkly funny, and deeply human. He dares to explore topics most writers avoid—rape by a woman, the pain of male silence, emotional abuse, religious hypocrisy—while weaving them into narratives that are both provocative and healing. His writing doesn’t seek approval. It seeks truth. And in doing so, he gives voice to those too afraid to speak. Whether you’ve lived through darkness or simply want to understand it, Pokras is a guide you’ll never forget.
