Frost Warning

Written in the wake of her mother's passing, Frost Warning traces the tender work of learning to live after loss. These poems linger in the rhythms of cooking, gardening, cleaning, marriage, and motherhood, while also opening to the changed bond with a newly widowed father. In these pages, the smallest tasks of daily life-laying a table, tending a garden, sweeping a floor-become both echoes of absence and doorways into new ways of being. At once intimate and expansive, the collection is a meditation on family, love, and the quiet persistence of grief as it slips back into view when least expected.
