Overview

There are moments when life folds in on itself - when what we know becomes ash, when love turns to echo, when silence fills every familiar room. A Soft Collapse begins here, in that trembling stillness after loss, and gently traces the long, spiraling return toward light. In these poems, Sayona Vale writes with the reverent clarity of someone who has walked through absence and found tenderness waiting on the other side. Through images of cracked glass, river stones, lanterns, and morning light, she explores the delicate anatomy of grief - not as an end, but as a soft and necessary yielding. Her voice, both intimate and expansive, invites the reader to see sorrow not as destruction, but as transformation: the soil in which new life quietly takes root. Moving through eight lyrical parts - from Fractures and Rupture to Whispering, Becoming, and Ephemeral Eternities - the collection forms a circular meditation on endurance, memory, and renewal. Each poem becomes a small act of faith, a gesture of return, a reminder that beauty often blooms from what breaks. A Soft Collapse is not a book about forgetting, but about remembering differently - learning to hold what is gone with gentleness, and to live again with a softened heart. It is a companion for anyone who has loved deeply, lost profoundly, and still dares to believe in the quiet miracle of beginning again. When the light fades, these pages remind us: the end of one thing is always the dawn of another.
