About the book: “And they wonder - where does her power reside?” writes Koryn Frye-Fuentes as she describes the agility of women. Born and raised in South Central Los Angeles, California, this courageous Afro-Latina poet uses her life experiences and personal journey with grief to provide a space for grieving to be normalized in society. Here, she is at her most vulnerable as she shares love letters (poems) written through many seasons of mourning. She uses the five stages of grief to shape an invigorating story of connection, resilience, and liberation. In a world where humanity seems lost, she offers a soft landing for those who choose to grow softer, not out of ignorance, but as an act of rebellion against the harshness of the world.
