HANDFUL: A POETRY COLLECTION by Jessa Russo

 This is my rage. My coming-of-age.
My look at life… through the bars of a cage.

To the teenage angst that consumed us and the painful beauty of growing up, HANDFUL: A Collection of Poetry by Jessa Russo is a love letter to the messy, beautiful process of coming of age.

Spanning decades, this collection features poetry about one woman's journey from hopeless romantic teenager to adulthood, breaking through the invisible bars of femininity and the expectations and demands placed on women in this modern age.

HANDFUL includes poems that range from angsty teenager trying to find her way, to the woman she is today, stepping into her own with fearless grace and tender rage... and all the messy bits in between. 

Not intended for readers under the age of sixteen.

Releasing in ebook and paperback on December 1, 2026.
