Her Believing Heart

Raw, Honest Poetry of Healing and Transformation

Her Believing Heart by Jennifer Polhemus is a powerful and unflinching poetry collection that explores the long journey through mental illness, trauma, and the reclamation of self. With dark irony and direct language, these free verse poems examine wellness across every dimension-spiritual, physical, intellectual, creative, emotional, and sexual.

Like river rocks tumbling and polishing one another, the poems show how impact and friction are part of becoming whole.
