Whispered Verse is a curated collection of poetry spanning over a century and four generations of one American family. From a hand-bound book written in 1915 to a high school student's powerful reflections in 2009, these poems speak across time—about loss and longing, faith and fear, motherhood and memory.

Collected by writer and voice artist Querida Funck, Whispered Verse brings together the voices of a great-grandmother, a grandmother, a mother, and a son. Their lives—rural and urban, handwritten and digital—are captured through devotional poems, playful childhood rhymes, quiet reflections on grief, and raw, unflinching explorations of social injustice and identity.

With its blend of archival beauty and modern emotional depth, this book invites readers to witness a family in lyrical conversation. It's a celebration of everyday lives, a tribute to quiet voices, and a reminder that the stories we leave behind—sometimes tucked in drawers or scribbled on school pages—are often the most enduring.

Perfect for lovers of intergenerational memoir, reflective poetry, or American history seen through personal lens.
