A poetry collection for mothers, feminists, and anyone quietly unraveling.
In How to Rest, debut poet Kate LaDow invites readers into the raw, quiet spaces of motherhood, marriage, and the search for self. These poems speak to the woman holding it all together—and wondering who she is beneath the noise. With honesty, softness, and feminist clarity, LaDow captures the tension between exhaustion and awakening, offering readers not just poems, but permission to pause.
Perfect for fans of confessional poetry, slow living, and anyone navigating the complex beauty of caregiving and coming home to yourself.
