Coming in February! Pre-order available now (will ship on or before publication date). Superbloom is the new collection of poems by Catherine Esposito Prescott. Catherine’s earlier book, Accidental Garden, won the Barry Spacks Poetry Prize.

Caridad Moro-Gronlier (author of Tortillera) writes: “Superbloom by Catherine Esposito Prescott is not merely a book of poems—it is a quiet act of devotion. In language both luminous and precise, Prescott traces the contours of unimaginable loss and transforms grief into something tender, reverent, and enduring. Like light filtered through stained glass, each poem refracts sorrow into unexpected hues of remembrance and renewal. Rooted in the natural world, both on Earth and beyond, these poems offer a sacred mirror that reflects the eternal bond between parent and child. Again and again, Superbloom provides the reader with moments in which unbearable absence becomes presence—where, as she writes, ‘Memories bubble up inside of me, each a pocket / of joy, iridescent and light,’ and even the deepest pain is made to shimmer—with faith, with radiance, with grace.”
