    A Softer Kind of Audacity: Jess Whetsel

    Jess Whetsel is a poet, writer, editor, and public speaker based in Toledo, Ohio on Erie, Kickapoo, Seneca, and Odawa land. Her poetry has appeared in many literary journals, including Tulip Tree Review, Discretionary Love, and Sage Cigarettes.

You can learn more about Whetsel and her work on her website, www.jesswhetsel.com, or by following her Instagram, @jesswhetselwrites. A Softer Kind of Audacity BOOK RELEASE:  Friday Dec. 1  www.jesswhetsel.com https://substack.com/@jesswhetsel IG @jesswhetselwrites BOOK DESCRIPTION  A Softer Kind of Audacity is an unflinching self-examination. Author Jess Whetsel’s poetry debut is “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.” Exploring themes of queerness, mental health, and generational trauma, Whetsel opens the door wide and invites everyone in. From identity falling in ineffable teenage love to mid-life polyamory, Whetsel does not turn away from the truth.
