MAGNOLIAS UNDER MY SKIN

Magnolias Under My Skin: The Architecture of Tenderness maps the hidden architecture of modern emotional life. Part psychology, part confession, part love letter to the human condition — these poems move through grief, identity, intimacy, and the strange modern exhaustion of being alive. They sit with the doomscrollers and the overthinkers, the ones still becoming, the ones who have loved too carefully and grieved too quietly. Written with the precision of someone who has studied the wound, and the tenderness of someone who has lived inside it. The second collection by award-winning poet Deepti Jethani, whose debut, Butterflies in My Mind, received the Emily Dickinson Award.
