7th February, 2025 - Shooting Stars & Origami Swans [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DR9J1KYF/], Jessica Jaymes Purdy's fifth poetry collection, is a courageous and evocative exploration of transgender identity, love, and self-discovery. Through raw and reflective verse, Purdy gives voice to the complexities of living as a transwoman while navigating the intersections of gender, sexuality, and societal expectations. With poignant insights into resilience, religious trauma, and reclaiming language, this collection is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the nuanced, often challenging, journey of self-acceptance and love.
In Shooting Stars & Origami Swans , Purdy addresses themes that are personal yet universal, shedding light on the struggles and triumphs faced by those who live beyond the gender binary. Her powerful poems speak to the emotional complexities of navigating the world as a transgender person, including the pain of rejection, the healing power of self-love, and the journey toward emotional and spiritual freedom.
Purdy also explores the transformative power of poetry itself, using her craft as a means of healing from past trauma. The collection delves deeply into the healing power of words, how slurs can impact self-worth, and the strength found in reclaiming language. Her work is an affirmation of the resilience of the human spirit, and a testament to the importance of finding one's voice in a world that often tries to silence it.
