Hi! I’m Yrsa. this is ‘the utter’…
A living, breathing journal about the poetry of existence. A stream of consciousness. An unedited, weekly newsletter about things that are true (or true enough at the moment, as we are shifting, morphing beings, yes?), significant things left unsaid, things that make us laugh, and messy matters that are tough. Because things can be (messy and tough). This isn’t merely a newsletter; it’s a letter from me to you. Every new post arrives directly in your inbox. For audio extras and a sense of community, the Substack app brings it all together.
be a subscriber
and let’s get honest. Raw writing. Hope. Depression. Love. Sensuality. Connection. Like-mindedness. You’ll find me (and parts of yourself) here.
be a paid subscriber
and lets get real. Paying subscribers fund the very existence of ‘the utter’. You get subscriber-only posts in their entirety. Let’s get personal and have our ‘uttertalks’. Let me leave you voice notes. Honestly, the good stuff happens behind the paywall, I’ll also answer questions when you ask them. Let’s talk about the things I wouldn’t dare post anywhere else. And sometimes video: words aren’t always enough.
meet-ups!!!
I’m out in the world often, reading solo, playing with The Josh Craig, on tour, on uttertalk or LIVE! let’s meet online or out in the world. Find your people 🖤🖤🖤 and be part of a community of people who aren’t okay all the time, but know how to
1. heal
2. turn it into art
