During a brief walk along Wrightsville Beach in June 2021, Fayssoux started piecing together a poem - the poem that would come to close this collection. Returning home, she scribbled and typed, furiously trying to navigate where the water, the sand, and the grief heavy in her chest were leading. As the words hurried out, they nestled around wholeness. Wholeness. The idea that a full life, a good life, isn't always a happy one. The recognition that amidst breakups, mundane disappointments, surprise diagnoses, and the deaths of 15 loved ones in 12 years you can feel throes of emotion and also be entirely thrilled by the buttery sweetness of a pastry. Consisting of 15 poems and 1 flash-essay, Plenty is a meditation on and a celebration of the moments that terrify, enliven, and satiate - the moments that make us whole and human.
