Ruby in my Ribcage

Ruby in My Ribcage is a vulnerable exploration of loss and the slow, rhythmic process of healing. It showcases a young woman moving from the suffocating “heavy wait” of grief to a place of quiet acceptance. These poems trace the profound impact of losing someone who you identify strongly with, and the search for oneself in the aftermath. This collection is an invitation to sit with discomfort, embrace the loneliness, and finally learn to breathe in peace. These poems explore what it means to be made of wet clay. Soft enough to be hurt, but strong enough to be reshaped.
