The Mouth of a Needle threads twenty-one poems that pierce, mend, and resist. From the hands of an embroidery artist, these poems unravel maternity, trauma, desire; silences that turn into storms; scars that open into rivers; and women’s fiercest emotions. Each line pricks like a stitch: small, sharp, and impossible to ignore.
