Rotten Rebirth

Rotten Rebirth is a visceral collection of poetry that explores the sacred cycle of falling apart and finding yourself again. Through raw, lyrical language, Pia Bordon Crosby invites readers into the soil of grief, surrender, shadow, and healing—where rot becomes the fertile ground for transformation. These poems are meditations on identity, ancestry, motherhood, resilience, and the wild beauty of starting again. Each piece honors the truth that decay is not the end, but a beginning. Rotten Rebirth is both a reckoning and a return—for anyone learning to bloom again after breaking open.
