Description
In this deeply empathetic collection, a modern Mary Magdalene searches for connection amid desire, shame, memory, and spiritual longing. Through intimate, visionary poems, she confronts complicated relationships with men, sex, the body, and the self while reaching toward a world beyond estrangement. Reimagining a biblical figure whose inner life has largely been left unwritten, the book explores need, vulnerability, forgiveness, and the possibility of transcendence. The result is a haunting and compassionate portrait of a woman seeking grace within the material world.
