The Threshold of Broken Waters is a captivating memoir in verse that delves into the profound impact of significant life events, using pregnancy and childbirth as metaphors for the art of poetry writing. This literary masterpiece is rooted in the sublimation of mnemonic traces, fostering growth and extending the birthing metaphor to encompass the migration and water crises of our contemporary world.

As I inhale, I feel a surge of energy coursing through my body, and I utter a thought that resonates with my soul: a caterpillar transforms into a majestic monarch, its diaphanous wings expanding to achieve lift-off, and then gracefully glides with the wind's draft. My breath enters a labyrinth within my lungs, curling and unfurling to become the voice that unleashes a poem, its tears fortifying my very essence. To merge with the world's fury is an act of sheer madness.

Within the confines of this poetic journey, the author explores the transformative power of words and the profound connection between the human experience and the natural world. The Threshold of Broken Waters serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the boundless potential of poetry to heal, inspire, and ignite change. It is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the human condition and the power of artistic expression.
