Overview

Milk & Marrow: A Poetry Collection on Motherhood, Loss, and the Wild Resilience of the Soul In Milk & Marrow, Breanna Leslie weaves a lyrical tapestry of motherhood, grief, and self-reclamation, set against the untamed beauty of Appalachia.

Rooted in the sacred and the everyday, these poems speak to the heart of those who have known love and loss in equal measure. Whether wandering through mist-covered mountains, tracing the echoes of family history, or finding solace in the call of an owl at dusk, Milk & Marrow invites readers to embrace both the ache and the awe of being alive. Perfect for fans of Mary Oliver, Maggie Smith, and Ada Limón, this collection is a must-read for lovers of poetry that is both deeply personal and profoundly universal.
