Rena Joy Poetry
Poetry Books
​
​
I write poetry about complicated relationships, mental health, and identity. Almost Loved is perfect for you if you are in the process of healing and loving yourself again. It will lead you through the grief and the anger that comes with healing and back to joy and loving yourself again. Almost Loved is framed from the point of view of an adoptee, but isn't just for adopted people or those in the adoption triad. Love and grief are universal feelings. I hope this book helps you feel less alone.
"What if you spend the rest of your life chasing love, only to find her cowering in the pit of your stomach. ​
​
When then?"
​Discover Rena's debut, where she invites you to follow along with a former foster child's search for love and healing, while pushing back on the labels assigned to her.
​
Grappling with subjects of abuse, mental health, and deeply held grief this collection aims to answer: what does it truly mean to be loved in a world where you're seen as second best?​​
​
Perfect for anyone that had a less than ideal childhood and is the process of healing. This book will guide you through the disbelief, the anger, the grief and the return to joy that comes from loving yourself again.
