saturnine (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218457730)

Grace Rodriguez's second collection of poetry, Saturnine, delves into the intricate tapestry of self-discovery, the individualist aspects of existence and how our preconceived beliefs often alter our ability to experience empathy. This poetry collection is an ode to Palestinian resistance and resilience, and encapsulates the transition from apathy to solidarity. Each poem urges the reader to journey through vulnerability and find solace in sincere connection.
Saturnine is not a state of deficiency or gloom; it is the intangible residence of the sentient being that develops in the soul and settles in the cornea, so that those capable of feeling may also seek. It is an invitation to feel - which is, after all, what makes us undeniably human.
