Release

by Jasmine Farrell

The Release poetry series consists of three stand-alone micro collections centered around You is the art of letting go in poetry book form. Full of powerful affirmations for the present moment, poet Jasmine Farrell teaches us that the only way we can actualize our dreams is to release what no longer serves those self-limiting beliefs, naysayers, and is a poetic catharsis of black life.

Through poignant and candid poetic storytelling, poet Jasmine Farrell urges her readers to realize their worth by putting their trauma behind them and attracting dreamlike love that heals all those untreated wounds of the heart....
