From TikTok phenomenon Whitney Hanson, a brand-new collection of poems exploring the cadences of love, loss, grief, and healing

i am finally finding a balance,
a great harmony
between the loss
and the love,
between who i was
and who i have become

In this exquisite poetry collection, Whitney Hanson, chronicles the loss of a loved one, tracing the progression of grief and healing through the lens of music.

We each begin with a simple note, but as life progresses, we’re led to the next note, and the next—all of which combine to form the melody of a song and a life. As life becomes more complicated and complex, we find that loss, grief, and heartache can muffle our music, making the world go silent.

But as Whitney’s poems show, all of these rests and pauses in the music are part of the composition of life, and it is only by moving through the variations that we can find the harmony and grace that come with healing.
"Poet and TikTok sensation Whitney Hanson has penned Harmony, which explores all the complexities that life offers, highlighting her own vulnerability and prompting the same from her audience. Hanson crafts poems about grief, comparing the processes of human emotion to those of writing a song. Harmony illustrates Hanson’s efforts to marry the person she was before she lost someone she deeply loved with the person she became after they passed. To put it simply, Hanson indeed makes music with her poetry."
