For My Daughters, in Verse

Writing from the intersections of memory and motherhood, Lina Le’s For My Daughters, in Verse is an intimate collection of fragmented thoughts, essays, and poetry. Spanning a twelve-year distance from the North Carolina marshes, this book does not offer a perfect, linear narrative. Instead, it captures the raw, beautiful ache of growing up and the quiet courage found in everyday survival. It is an honest, unfiltered letter to her children, mapping the spaces between who she was and who she is still becoming.
