Marigold by Cece Ma’moon

A stark curation of powerful poetry, Marigold by Cece Ma’moon asks hard questions about heartbreak, and serves as a meditative collection for the countless others who have loved and lost. Though many of these pieces feel centered on abandonment, grief, confusion, and isolation, there are also moments of flickering hope, faith, and curiosity for the future. While the entire book can be read in one sitting, these thoughtful and carefully worded poems are impactful, as the pieces read like mantras or koans, meant to be savored and considered. As both a confessional and a companion in grief, Marigold is deeply personal, yet undeniably universal, for a collection that feels empathetic for each reader’s experience.
