Our Story
The goal of Uncertain Girls in Uncertain Times is to inspire and encourage young thinkers, problem solvers, peacemakers, and creators launching into adulthood to trust their inner authority and find the confidence to build a meaningful life in this uncertain and chaotic world. We believe in the intergenerational sharing of wisdom, and the unique power of poetry to spark connection, open our eyes, and invite us into a bigger world, one filled with possibilities we may never have imagined otherwise.

"Not since Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet has a book been so urgent and bursting with messages both thrilling and thoughtful of how to walk the uneven path to personhood. This is a book, more than any other, tailor-made for the madness of this moment as women and girls face growing existential threats to their autonomies and anatomies."
-Putsata Reang, author of Ma and Me
"The personal introductions are authentic and engaging, and there’s a wonderful diversity of sustaining poems. Poetry allows us to be more deeply rooted in the life we’re living, to hold both despair and praise, to see the relationships between seemingly unrelated things, and thus it offers us a window into the oneness of the world."
-Ellen Bass, author of Indigo and Like a Beggar
