Jackie Cioffa’s 4th book, entitled The Shape of Us, is a collection of poems and essays dedicated to women she calls the empowered sisters of her soul.

She adds that it’s also a book that can benefit men.

The Shape of Us brings Jackie full circle from her third book, The Red Bench, which was written after she emerged from a dark period of her life that led her to becoming an advocate for those suffering with mental health situations.
