Silk And Gravity

*Silk and Gravity* is a poetry collection about the delicate tension between freedom and surrender-between the things we release and the things we cannot help but fall toward.

Through love, desire, pleasure, fear, grief, and the quiet intimacy of being alive, Verena Ciprian explores softness in all its contradictions: its beauty and fragility, its wildness and strength, its longing to remain untamed even as something begins to pull.

Divided into three movements-*Silk, The Pull, and Gravity*-the collection drifts from curiosity and uninhibited pleasure into the uncertain space between holding on and letting go, before arriving at the terrifying and tender act of surrender.

Because gravity is not only what makes us fall.

Sometimes, it is what teaches us where we belong.
