Softer Kind of Audacity

A Softer Kind of Audacity is an unflinching self-examination. Author Jess Whetsel's poetry debut is "e;a book is for the little girl with wild curls and a poem in her heart; the teenager who scribbled lyrics in her notebook like her life depended on it; the twenty-something who swallowed her voice and didn't think she'd ever write again; and the woman who finally came home to her poetry, her voice, herself."e; Exploring themes of queerness, mental health, and generational trauma, Whetsel opens the door wide and invites everyone in.
