Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Some hands remember what our minds have let go of - how to fold dough, how to hold worry, how to say I love you without ever saying the words.What My Grandmother's Hands Remember is a quiet, deeply moving collection of free-verse poems about the family that shapes us long before we understand how. Across nearly one hundred original poems, this book moves gently through childhood and kitchen tables, through grandparents who spoke in soup and silence, through parents who loved out loud in the ways they never learned to say it, and through the strange, tender work of growing up and away - only to find, years later, that their hands are still living inside our own.These are not poems about one specific family. They are about all of them - the ones who raised us with words, and the ones who raised us with a hand quietly resting on our shoulder. Written in short, spare, accessible verse, this collection is for anyone who has ever caught themselves cooking exactly like someone they lost, or standing in a doorway feeling an entire lineage stand there with them.What's inside:- Eight thematic sections moving from childhood through inheritance: Where It Begins, The Kitchen Table, My Grandmother's Hands, What They Never Said, Growing Away, The House That Remembers, Keeping the Recipe, and What I Will Pass Down- Nearly 100 original short poems, most just a few lines, perfect for reading slowly, one page at a time, or all in one aching sitting- A gentle introduction and a closing note that frame the collection as both memoir and offering- Spacious, poetry-forward formatting designed for quiet reading and easy re-readingPerfect for:- Anyone who has loved a grandmother, grandfather, or parent whose love arrived more in action than in words- Readers of contemporary free-verse and instapoetry looking for something warmer and slower- A thoughtful gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day, a grandparent's birthday, a memorial, or simply "thinking of you"- Poetry lovers seeking a book that feels like coming home, one page at a timeThis is a book about the recipes we keep, the porch lights left on, and the love that outlives the people who first gave it to us. Open it to any page and you may find your own family standing there, waiting.Bring this collection home today, and let it remind you whose hands are still living in yours.
