Overview

In 19 Poems from Vero Beach, Cuban American poet Anna M. Figueroa invites readers into an intimate collection that explores womanhood, faith, love, and resilience with fearless honesty. Her voice at once sensual and spiritual moves fluidly between the quiet revelations of the soul found in Vero Beach and the rhythms of Miami. Each poem is a snapshot of transformation: a woman's hands remembering her mother's touch, the sacred ache of solitude, the healing power of words, and the courage it takes to face both beauty and loss. Through vivid imagery and lyrical craft, Figueroa captures what it means to live fully to burn, to fall, to rise, and to begin again. Both personal and universal, these poems span the landscapes of memory and identity, bridging cultures and languages in a celebration of strength and grace. Whether in ""Twilight, Stars and Station Wagons,"" ""A Woman Alone,"" or ""La Habana,"" her work reveals that poetry is not escape it is arrival. For readers of Mary Oliver, Ada Limón, and Ocean Vuong, 19 Poems from Vero Beach is a meditation on love, time, and the indestructible spirit of a woman who has lived, lost, and chosen to shine.
