POETRY
We all know the Earth has a shadow, but only few understand the vast darkness it carries: a rotating story of survival... darkness, moments of warmth and light, then darkness again. Shadows of the Earth is a poetry collection written to expose the real, raw, and ugly backbone of mental illness through a lens of the natural world.
SHADOWS OF THE EARTH
The audiobook version of Shadows of the Earth is available as an add-on and includes special commentary from the author on select poems.

The world of nature and how people relate to it has been the foundation of Josie's poetry since she began writing in 2018. Her personal experience with mental illness has fueled her passion to help others understand its darkness. Along with Shadows of the Earth being a part of her own healing, she hopes to bring light to the painful fight of survival against suicide.
Find Josie at the Riverside Arts Market the first Thursday of every month on Main St. in Downtown Riverside.
