Description

In this achingly beautiful poetry collection, Setrova captures the raw, unfiltered emotions that follow our first heartbreak. Through tender and haunting verse, these poems trace the messy evolution of love, loss, and selfhood, while delving into grief, mental illness, and the tangled bonds between parents and their children. Each page feels like a return to being sixteen — when every feeling was catastrophic, every silence heavy with meaning, and every ending felt like the end of the world.

With language both fragile and fierce, Setrova reminds us how it felt to want, to break, to grow, and to still believe in love after all of it.
