Telling It All by Jenna Casey, PsyD

An unassuming yet continually compelling poetry collection, Telling It All: Trauma And the Unspeakable Truths by Jenna Casey, PsyD is a minimalistic exploration of unavoidable suffering and the need for resilience. Varied in poetic form and style, but sharply focused on past trauma, pain, grief, and loss, Casey’s vulnerable poetry is raw and relentless in its message. Though some of the pieces can feel too brief for the complexity of their subject matter, there is a cathartic power in the stark style. Empowering and comforting for readers who have experienced similar hardships and heartbreak, these visceral short-form pieces carry a surprising amount of weight.
