Letters For The Survivors: Affirmations, Poems, and Letters You Never Got
The letter you needed on the hardest night.
Shop individualFor the ones who made it out, and the ones still finding their way.
These are poems for survivors — of domestic abuse, of the years you can't quite name, of the version of you that had to disappear so the rest of you could stay alive. They were written from the inside of that experience, not from the outside looking in.
The reading list below is a starting place. Every poem is free to read online, drawn from Letters I'll Never Send and Ampersands. Read one. Sit with it. Come back tomorrow. There is no right pace.
If any of these stay with you, the print editions hold the full arc — the poems too heavy to publish online, the letters written to the people who never got them, and the slow, honest work of what comes after. A portion of every sale funds outreach for survivors of domestic abuse.
For the voice that was told to stay small.
