Publisher's Description
"if given your life once more, how would you love yourself differently?" (re)love is a poetry collection inspired by the daily struggles we face in our lives, including mental illness, self-love, inherited faith, and our shifting understanding of identity. Thematically situated around the earth and its greenery's life cycles, this collection explores concepts of spiritual growth, time, sexuality and gender, living with physical and mental health conditions, and the mystery that dwells within and among us. (re)love invites us to plant and cultivate new seeds of self-love and compassion, reminding us that "relearning is welcomed by this tender earth."

“These poems grip and liberate, they breathe you in and blow you suddenly elsewhere. With the liveliest insistence, with a succinct honesty so gentle that sorrows and hopes land like seeds in the soil of now, Michaela Atencio opens the reader into ‘this gap/between time and eternity’s collisions called the present.’”
“(re)love is a tender journey into the honest and rich soils of self-reflection and compassion. Through the gifts of their own experiences, Michaela’s poetry welcomes the reader to search our own depths and that of the world around us and find there a kind and loving divine embrace.”
“With deftness and gentleness, Michaela Atencio creates a spacious place to exhale, to see and be seen, and to come home to ourselves. In their vulnerability and presence, Atencio welcomes all parts of themself, and in doing so, invites us all to do the same.”
