Yes, Written Across My Throat

By Del Rey Jean

Yes, Written Across My Throat is a lyrical memoir in brief about miscarriage, mental health hospitalization, people-pleasing, and learning to stay inside your own skin.

In the span of one year, Del unravels under the weight of grief, medical dismissal, abandonment, and a lifetime of silencing her own needs. After a traumatic miscarriage and a psychological collapse that lands her in the mental health ward, she is forced to confront the habits that kept her alive-but never safe.

Through prose and poetry woven together, she traces the roots of compliance, the cost of leaving her body to survive, and the slow, deliberate work of learning to feel without fleeing. In the hospital, she begins retraining her nervous system. At home, she rebuilds. In the mirror one day, she realizes something radical:

She is no longer at war with herself.

Honest, intimate, and unflinching, this compact memoir is for anyone who has ever confused survival with self-abandonment, and is ready to reclaim their voice.
