Forgive Yourself

Author: Jared Singer

Synopsis:

Singer’s highly anticipated debut book collects and transforms work from his ten years as a mainstay of the NYC poetry scene. With work that ranges from laugh-out-loud funny to the silence and rage of loss, Forgive Yourself: These Tiny Acts of Self-Destruction is a must-read.

As the book unfolds, Jared guides the reader through fresh takes on the discussion of body image and body positivity side by side with all too familiar discussions of mental health, anxiety, and suicide. It explores the complex fabric that is American culture and New York in particular, taking extra time to examine his identity as a Jewish American and how that underpins the author’s daily experience.

Forgive Yourself is a modern handbook for finding yourself and your place without losing your way.
