Her Whole Bright Life
Courtney LeBlanc
(Author)Description
Her Whole Bright Life is a collection of poems that weave together the trauma and exhaustion of a life lived with disordered eating and the loss and grief of the death of the poet's father.
Love and hunger intertwine and become inseparable as the poet grapples to find, and listen, to both. With a distinct and feminist voice, this collection delves into a life now lived without a beloved parent, while trying to survive a pandemic and battling demons that have lived inside her for most of her life.
With both fierceness and tenderness, we see a woman trying to find her place within her own body and within an ever-changing world. This collection of poems is both an elegy and an anthem - praising both those who've been lost and those who remain.

About the Author
Reviews
"Jacqueline writes about love not in the one-dimensional, heart-emoji sense but as it truly feels: mysterious, insane, ever-shifting--a force that binds us to one another, to this earth, and to ourselves. Help in the Dark Season will break your heart and heal it all at once." --Hallie Bateman, author of What to Do When I'm Gone
"Suskin has ascended to a heart surgeon's level of ability in her poetry with this book, taking the blood of the matter and humanizing the cure with her words." --Jena Malone, actor
