Description
Racing Hummingbirds takes readers into one woman's journey through the multifaceted realms of manic depression.

The intimacy of her words invites readers to step inside the very heart of these themes, blurring the lines between observer and participant.
As you immerse yourself in the pages of Racing Hummingbirds, you'll find your emotions tapped in to the raw and evocative landscape that Verlee masterfully paints.
Her words create an immersive experience, one where you'll intimately explore the depths of human emotion, from the darkest struggles to the resilient spirit that carries us through.

About the Author
Reviews
"Racing Hummingbirds is a masterful first collection... They are medicine words."
- The Legendary
"It's poetry with its teeth bared...completely and unapologetically naked."
- PANK Magazine
"...a roller coaster of imagistic magic. Form, language, allusion, and voice interact, collide, shape-shift, and duel...throughout an utterly arresting mosaic."
- Danse Macabre
"Fierce and formidable, Jeanann Verlee is poised to make an indelible mark - much like a razor slashing silk - on what's become a comfortably placid poetic landscape."
- Patricia Smith, author of Blood Dazzler and Teahouse of the Almighty
"...as visceral and searing as it is compassionate and forgiving.
- Small Press Reviews"
"...one of the most powerful collections I've ever read."
- Roxane Gay, HTML Giant
