To My Mother

In “To My Mother, Letters She’ll Never Read,” Kara Almonte turns silence into poetry, exploring the fragile, complicated bond between mother and daughter. These poems trace love, loss, and longing, capturing the ache of what was broken and the subtle glimmers of understanding that linger in its wake. Raw, confessional, and profoundly intimate, the collection refracts pain into something multifaceted and resonant. Luminous and quietly arresting, it offers a space in which readers may recognize themselves reflected in the moments she brings to light.
