Numbered Days, Infinite Hope, by Jenny Morelli

Poetry, chapbook, 48 pages, from Bottlecap Features. Numbered Days, Infinite Hope is a collection of poems that address the pain of our current political and social climate, confronting all we’ve lost, the injustices we’ve witnessed, the threat of erasure after so much progress. This collection also project the possibility of a better future through the enduring hope that words and collective action can bring about change. In a world shaken by division and uncertainty, this collection illustrates how the enduring strength of words can heal the human spirit, embracing the possibility of hope with every word.   She invites readers to walk through her pages with an open mind and willingness to read one of many infinite perspectives, and to believe that words will live on, that they will have the power to heal, resist, and inspire. Each poem is a war cry of resilience, a reminder that even in the darkest times, because words live on, so does hope. Jenny’s chapbook invites readers to witness, remember, and rise; to let her words challenge, heal, and triumph, even when the world feels upside down and inside out. For anyone searching for light in dark times, she hopes her poems offer both solace and a call to action; inspiring readers to speak out, to stand up and help be a part of a better future because that’s how change begins, with every voice, every story, and every poem. Jenny Morelli is a NJ high school English teacher who lives with her husband, cat, and myriad yard pets. Lately, she’s been inspired by the appalling state of today’s political climate and has used her writing as a coping mechanism and outlet for her emotions. She is super proud that this is her fourth poetry chapbook with Bottlecap Press.
