Between Breath and Memory

"Replete with reflective, literary moments of appreciation and contemplation, Between Breath and Memory will reach a wide audience, from librarians seeking contemporary poetry to add to their collections and recommend to literary book clubs to individuals attracted to free verse steeped in the warm tea of life." 

―D. Donovan, Midwest Book Review

Between Breath and Memory is a gentle remembering, for the days when the past feels close and for the days when it feels impossibly far away.

A quiet companion for moments of loss and for the ordinary hours that follow it.

For the love we inherit, the love we carry forward, and the love that learns how to live on in absence.

These poems are for when memory arrives unannounced, in objects, in gestures, in the body's knowing.

For tenderness woven into habit.

For those learning how to carry love forward, make room for memory, and continue, slowly and patiently, one breath at a time.

Between Breath and Memory is a contemplative poetry collection about family, memory, migration, and the enduring presence of love across generations.
