Mariposa unfolds like a life in metamorphosis, soft-winged, storm-hearted, and always becoming. These poems rise from the sky beneath your skin: the quiet rebellions, the hidden corners, the unspoken longings, and the bright, fragile hopes carried from childhood into womanhood. At its core, Mariposa is a romance with every version of the self. The voice within is not perfected but evolving, bruised and blooming. This is a book about the versions of ourselves we outgrow, the ones we cling to, and the ones we finally learn to embrace. A gentle record of metamorphosis, the sky rising from within.
