This collection of poems is an offering: to the women who raised us, to the girls who learned to make themselves small, and to the voices buried in silence only to emerge louder than ever.

Through sharp observation and raw vulnerability, these poems explore femininity, identity, and the ways women are expected to fold themselves into shapes that fit others’ comfort. They confront inherited silence, generational expectations, and the quiet rebellions we carry in our bodies, our voices, and our choices.
