Shattered Glass
A Testament to Survival. A Tribute to the Lost.
In Shattered Glass, poet and veteran Richard White lays bare the battles many fight in silence—against depression, PTSD, anxiety, addiction, and the aching weight of suicide. With raw vulnerability and fierce compassion, White transforms pain into poetry, honoring the friends he has lost and the ones still standing on the front lines of their own inner wars.
This collection is more than just a reflection on mental health—it’s a journey through the fragile, resilient landscape of the human spirit. Each poem is a shard of memory, emotion, and truth, pieced together with startling honesty and a deep desire to understand what it means to survive.
With wit, empathy, and a lyrical voice shaped by hardship, Shattered Glass is both a cry and a comfort. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt broken—and offers hope that even shattered things can still shine.
