Whitney Hanson Shares How Poetry and The Creative Process Helped Her Discover Her Worth and How She Found ‘Home’

Whitney Hanson is a poet and tiktok phenomenon with over 1.6 million followers.  Her best-selling book of poetry, “home” is being re-released on May 9th through Penguin Random House, with a new introduction and more than a dozen new poems. Resonant, raw, and vibrant, Home is a lyrical map to navigating heartbreak. Tracing the stages of healing—from the despair that comes with the end of a relationship to the eventual light and liberation that comes with time—the poems in Home provide comfort and solace, while revitalizing your soul.

Through Whitney’s vulnerability and authenticity, she has connected with thousands of readers and adamantly believes that poetry is not a dead language; rather it is the key to unlocking true vulnerability which leads to deeper connection with one another. Whitney grew up in rural Montana and she now attends university in South Carolina. In this conversation, we get to know Whitney and her journey as a poet, college student and college athlete. We have a beautiful discussion on her poetry and talk a lot about handling social media, with such a large presence that anyone can relate to.
