A Way Home, by Jose Mendez
In his debut poetry collection, A Way Home, Jose Mendez explores mental health: depression, OCD, and what it looks like to heal, when healing feels impossible. These poems examine the concept of ‘home,’ along with all its complexities and implications. They seek to understand love—romantic, platonic, and familial. They embody love itself. And above all, they reach toward hope.
