Some wounds disappear from the skin. Others learn to speak.
Violet Dew is an intimate collection of poetry and short prose born in the place where memory, love, loss, beauty, and survival meet.
These pages move through the quiet geography of a human life: the people we have loved, the versions of ourselves we have left behind, the questions that remain after an ending, and the strange tenderness with which memory returns when we least expect it.
There is grief here, but also desire, humor, wonder, and the stubborn beauty of continuing to feel. Claudia Zamora writes without trying to make pain beautiful or turn every wound into a lesson. Instead, she gives language to those moments that resist explanation, the ones we carry in the body long after the story itself has ended.
Part poetry, part reflection, Violet Dew is a book to enter slowly, to leave on a nightstand, to open again when a few words are enough.
Where the wound became words, something remained alive.
