Burnt Toast At Sunrise

Burnt Toast At Sunrise by Jessie Raelynn is a poetry collection about sudden loss, survival, and the miracle of finding your way back to joy and hope alongside grief.The collection unfolds across three sections, tracing the shape of grief. It begins with the shock of loss and moves into the messy middle, where you're no longer drowning but not quite swimming, just trying to get through each day. In the final section, joy begins to return in small, everyday moments-over coffee, burnt toast, and sunlight on the kitchen floor.Burnt Toast At Sunrise is an account of grief from the inside and what it becomes as light finds its way back through even the smallest opening in the darkest room. It is for anyone who has stood at the counter staring at the burnt toast, only to realize the sunrise was right behind them, waiting all along.
