Bøger af Jenna Wysong Filbrun

Jenna Wysong Filbrun lives with weakened immunity due to chronic illness. In Away, she writes about the COVID-19 pandemic through the eyes of the most vulnerable, with whom she identifies. She faces the crushing power of collective harm, her small taste of it leading her both to a deeper understanding of the urgency needed to address it and a greater awareness of her own participation in it. Including the Pushcart Prize-nominated poem, "Church," the poems in Away follow the author's nature-guided journey through the losses of faith, belonging, and loved ones toward a Love that is truly limitless.

The Unsaid Words is a small collection of poems about life with chronic pain. Themes of despair, struggle, and, ultimately, hope, run through the book. The poems encourage readers to acknowledge the emotional and mental struggles that accompany chronic physical pain. The book is a space to mourn these effects on one's life, as well as a message of solidarity and hope for those who suffer.
