This is a raw, intimate collection of prose poetry that moves through the fractures of becoming a woman. Of the slow work of navigating family, mother-daughter bonds, longing, invisibility, the body, love, grief, feminism, and self reclamation.
It's narrated in a grieving but unexpectedly tender confessional tone. It doesn't decorate pain or tidy it up. It sits inside it.
What stays with you is the way love and resentment can live in the same body at the same moment, the way absence can shape a life as much as presence, and the hard won moments when the speaker finally turns toward herself.
This collection is of a woman writing herself out of the ruins of girlhood and into a clearer relationship with her own womanhood.
