Book Summary
A collection of poetry that delves into the visceral experience of motherhood from a raw and transformative perspective. The author explores the tearing of the woman in labor who loses herself only to rediscover her roots, her fears, and her love.

What is it about?
This collection of poetry acts as a window into the inner world of a woman going through the process of motherhood, where the body and psyche unravel. The work addresses the reconnection with roots, fears, love, and hopelessness—elements that solidify in the body like strata of feelings. The protagonist's gaze looks within herself to recognize, rebel against, and reinvent herself, attempting to understand the reality of her existence. At the center of the work is a void, a unique experience that every mammal possesses, but which, through individual perspectives, allows for companionship, transformation, and reflection, creating a new language: that of females who have just given birth.
