Help in the Dark Season by Jacqueline Suskin

Help in the Dark Season is Jacqueline Suskin's reminder that love is rarely simple, but it's always worth returning to.

Moving through childhood, family, heartbreak, and healing, these poems honor the people who shape us and the ways we keep finding each other despite the risk. Jacqueline writes in a world where dreams matter, the earth listens, and every season has something to teach us.

Whether you're learning to let someone in or let someone go, these poems offer the kind of company that stays with you long after you've closed the book.

I was met with resistance
from the very beginning—
my mother said no to my spirit
as I floated above her.
