Authors coping with pain read inspirational works
Guest author and collage artist Tamara Hattis held a reading event for her new book of poetry, “Colors of My Pain,” at the Beatnik Lounge in Joshua Tree Saturday afternoon. Hattis has a bachelor’s degree in communicative disorders and creative writing from the University of Redlands.
The work is about her journey of dealing the with chronic pain of fibromyalgia.
Hattis also has a strong interest in makeup and beauty. She incorporated a slide show of images of beauty products in various stages of formulation and images associated with chronic pain, such as X-rays of painful spine surgery procedures and some of the paintings of Frida Kahlo.
Hattis’ condition has advanced to the point where her tongue and jaw are affected, making assistant readers necessary.
The event happened to fall on her mother’s birthday, and with her in attendance, she dedicated the performance to her mom.
