Mango
Originally written as a Mother’s Day gift Lauren Gobern created a collection of poems to encircle the life and spirit of the women of her family. Named after the fruit tree on her grandmother’s land Mango is lined with portraits of her mothers and grandmothers, coupled with poems to evoke the emotions unseen. Mango is an intimate look into the realization of a matriarch, and the fruits of her years.
Orchid’s Madrigal
Orchid’s Madrigal is a hymn to womanhood—its quiet rootings, its tender unfurlings, its radiant bloom. These poems move like petals opening to the sun, tracing the sacred journey of becoming: the ache of growth, the tremble of love, the wisdom born of soil and season. Each verse sings as a madrigal, a chorus of voices bound in softness and strength, whispering of the many ways women rise and blossom. Lush, intimate, and timeless, Orchid’s Madrigal is a garden of words where the spirit of womanhood blooms eternal.
