A Quiet Voice Growing Loud

Poetic Reflections on Healing, Identity, and Loss

About this book

This deeply personal collection of free verse poetry gives voice to the quiet, complicated emotions often kept tucked away. Raised in Haiti and the United States, Damessous writes with honesty and vulnerability about her journey as a young Haitian-American woman navigating the ache of grief, the quiet strength of introversion, and the weight of a world in turmoil. These poems speak from the heart--honest and reflective, like conversations held in the dark. This collection is both a mirror and a companion--for those healing, those remembering, and those rediscovering the power of their own voice. From the heart-wrenching loss of a parent to the tender moments of self-discovery, A Quiet Voice Growing Loud explores what it means to keep going when everything feels like it's falling apart. With a gentle, reflective voice, Damessous invites readers to sit with sorrow, celebrate resilience, and find comfort in shared humanity. These poems are not loud--but they are brave. They speak to anyone who's ever felt unseen, unheard, or undone--and they remind readers that even the softest voice can rise, and be heard. Quiet, but unflinching. For those grieving, growing, healing, or simply trying to make sense of it all, A Quiet Voice Growing Loud is a companion for those moments.
