My Therapist Told Me to Write This: Poems for Our Daughters
Jenna Lee Schifferle
Depression can feel like a lonely room. No matter how desperate the struggle, the door is nowhere in sight. In My Therapist Told Me to Write This: Poems for Our Daughters, the narrator reminds us that there’s always someone out there who cares, even during our darkest hour. Written for a metaphoric daughter, this poetry collection illustrates what it means to keep going when your mind tells you to quit.

"... a love letter to all women ..."
“I was deeply moved by the words and artistry of this book. I also felt immensely proud of the author even though we don’t know each other! This is truly a beautiful collection of thoughts, emotions and intentions coming from a vulnerable space. Vulnerability can have a powerful and equally cathartic impact.
“As a woman, I connected deeply with these words. I felt seen with a sense of camaraderie and, as a mother, I simply felt … it all! Each poem felt like a love letter to all women, young and old.”
"... a beautiful reminder that we are not alone."
“Jenna peers into the human condition and inside some of the struggles we as women will face throughout our lives — not so much as a warning, but as a beautiful reminder that we are not alone. It is a love letter to the past, present, and future not just for women and daughters, but for all of us on this wild ride. ”

Poems About You
Brynn Ellen
Poems About You is a collection for anyone who has ever loved with everything they have. It is an ode to unrequited love, fleeting romance, love lost and everything in between. From 2 a.m. cheesecake when your heart is still seventeen to breaking up and recommitting fifty different ways, Brynn Ellen beautifully captures one of the most powerful parts of the human experience.

"I cannot wait to see what she releases next."
“I highly recommend this collection to fans of modern poetry or poems about romantic love. The best poets know how to reach down deep and pluck out the messy bits, stitch them together, and present them to us. And at its best, poetry has the power to heal and connect and make us feel, deeply, all the things. And Brynn has done that with her debut collection. I laughed. I teared up. It transported me to moments in my past with people I used to know. It’s a beautiful message of genuine connection. I cannot wait to see what she releases next.” – Author Christopher M. Tantillo
