The Conversation Continues. The Fight Still Matters.
In Speaking to My Depression: A Sequel, Richard White returns with a raw and powerful continuation of the poetic journey he began in Shattered Glass. Where the first collection was a dedication to lost friends and the invisible battles they fought, this sequel is a letter to those still standing—to those still fighting.
Drawing from his own lived experiences with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and grief, White’s words cut deep and heal gently. Through stark honesty, lyrical grit, and unflinching empathy, he speaks directly to the darkness—acknowledging its presence, challenging its hold, and searching for moments of light in between.
As he reflects on friends lost to drug abuse and suicide, and on the haunting silence left behind, White offers not just pain, but perspective—proof that even amid suffering, poetry can be a lifeline. This collection is a continuation of the conversation, a deeper dive into healing, and a tribute to resilience.
Speaking to My Depression is not just a sequel. It’s a survival story, a candle held up in the dark, and an invitation to keep going—even when it hurts.
