Everything is Fine (and Other Lies) is a haunting collection of poetry that explores the quiet realities we learn to hide-grief that doesn't announce itself, emotions that remain unspoken, and the fragile stories we tell to keep moving forward.
Moving through five deeply immersive chapters-from The Facade to The Void and into The Uncertain Future-this collection traces the slow unraveling of what it means to appear "fine" while quietly falling apart. Each poem captures a moment suspended between silence and truth, where language begins to fracture and identity becomes uncertain.
Written in a minimal, introspective style, Zenra Jyl's work lingers in the spaces most people avoid-the pauses, the hesitations, the invisible weight carried beneath ordinary conversations.
This is not a book about fixing what is broken.
It is a book about recognizing what has always been there.
For readers who have ever said "I'm fine" and meant something else entirely.
