POETRY COLLECTION · ENGLISH
A Woman Full Grown
A collection that tracks a woman’s becoming across decades — desire, motherhood, grief, reinvention, and the particular freedom that arrives only when you stop apologizing for yourself. These poems do not flinch.
ABOUT THE BOOK
A poetry collection about strength, tenderness, and the life you claim.
A Woman Full Grown moves through the seasons of a woman’s interior life with clear-eyed intimacy. The poems hold desire and devotion beside grief and grit—never asking the reader to look away.
Across decades, the speaker learns what it means to carry a history and still choose a future. These pages return again and again to the body, to memory, to the quiet negotiations of love, and to the moment a woman stops shrinking herself to fit.
“So I rejoice in my autumn, in the coolness of my breath, the clearness of my vision, the strong beat of my heart, as the whispers of the world vibrate through it.”
— Autumn, A Woman Full Grown
For readers of contemporary poetry who want language that is unafraid—poems that name what’s been endured, what’s been desired, and what’s finally been set down.
