Scars and Stains is a raw, lyrical journey through grief, memory, motherhood, and becoming. With clarity and unflinching tenderness, Caralie Clark lays bare the beauty and ache of survival—holding space for heartbreak, humor, ancestral wounds, and the quiet magic of everyday life. These poems stretch across time like scar tissue: tender, tough, and true. This debut collection invites anyone who has ever loved deeply, lost painfully, or lived through the in-between to find themselves in its pages.
