Sovereign Ground is a poetic journey through love, longing, awakening, desire, loss, and the radical act of choosing yourself.
Across twenty two poems, Kay Ali Cole traces the evolution of a woman who has carried too much, loved deeply, questioned what she was willing to accept, and ultimately returned home to herself.
Beginning with the exhaustion of the Tired Warrior and moving through remembrance, romance, sensuality, grief, laughter, liberation, and self possession, Sovereign Ground explores the spaces between who a woman has been and who she is becoming.
These poems do not reject love. They ask for a love worthy of the woman who has learned to love herself.
They speak to the lovers who awakened something, the endings that became beginnings, the desires we are taught to silence, the standards we learn to protect, and the moment a woman realizes she no longer needs permission to inhabit her own life fully.
Tender. Sensual. Reflective. Unapologetically feminine.
Sovereign Ground is not a story of becoming untouchable.
It is the story of becoming whole.
And discovering that after everything you have survived, surrendered, desired, and outgrown,
you are the ground beneath your own feet.
