In this debut collection, Ashleah Gonzales cuts open and examines the pieces of a life as they fall. Hands full of rotten oranges, promises to ancestors, lost secrets, empty days in Paris—they begin to add up to “an eternity that’s entirely mine.” These poems sting with tenderness, intimacy, and a longing to find a place that finally feels like home. 

All Rose Books titles are printed in the United States. Cover design by Sarah Schulte. This paperback is printed on 55# Rolland Enviro Book Paper.
