I'm Happy, Too? is the unapologetic and unforgettable follow-up to Renee Blackwell's debut collection, I'm Happy. This isn't a book about healing wrapped in pretty metaphors. It's about surviving the storm before the healing begins-about crawling through trauma, reckoning with abuse, confronting suicide, and still daring to speak.
With searing vulnerability and a voice sharp as shattered glass, Blackwell delivers poems that bleed, bruise, and burn. She writes through the rage, the silence, the shame-and what's left when the mask of I'm fine finally falls.
I'm Happy, Too doesn't offer easy answers. It offers truth. And for those brave enough to look it in the eye, that truth just might be the beginning of freedom.
This collection is a raw portrait of survival-and a reminder that sometimes, happiness is the rebellion.
