The Pull Of Never Leaving
By Catherine Sloan
Audiobook
The complicated relationship we have with our past... how memories, pain, and longing shape who we are.
This collection explores the complicated relationship we have with our past… how memories, pain, and longing shape who we are.
The poems move through moments of escape and return, capturing the tension between wanting to run away and needing to face what haunts us. They speak to the quiet battles of identity, love, and survival, revealing both the fractures and the strength found in holding on and letting go.
This book doesn’t offer easy answers, but it invites you to sit with the discomfort and find meaning in the spaces between.
