After The Body Remembers: An Original Poetry Collection

After the Body Remembers is a poetry collection that traces the quiet, unrelenting forces of memory, longing, and transformation. Mariela Pavlica explores how love and loss leave traces on the body, the mind, and the heart—how desire can pull us, how absence can shape us, and how we rebuild ourselves in the aftermath of everything we have carried.

From intimate awakenings to profound reckonings, each poem in this collection is a testament to resilience, vulnerability, and the invisible threads that connect us to the world and to each other. Evocative, lyrical, and unflinchingly human, After the Body Remembers asks the reader: what stays when everything changes, and how do we continue to move forward?
