Him, Her, and I is a poetic narrative written from the combined works of Jackson Whittier Houska. Through poetry written over the course of his first year as an open survivor of domestic and sexual violence, the novel explores one narrators perspective on an abusive relationship, their ability to romanticize their own ongoing destruction, and the clarity found at rock bottom. It tells the story of "Him" "Her" and "I", or explorations of life during, and after losing yourself to the void of another.

"Living in the Grey" is a full length poetry collection that Jackson Whittier has been writing since January of 2023, a process that has coincided with navigating the aftermath of surviving Sexual and Domestic Violence as he began to unpack every aspect of his own history to works towards recovery. It is an exploration of the space between all binaries; lover's come and gone, emotions old and new, and bonds forged and unraveled. The resulting narrative asks the reader to sit with Jackson inside the grey spaces of his own mind, and to examine the beauty found in the uncertainty. What can we learn from living in the grey? How much of our truth can coexist with each-other?
