The Becoming

Poetry by Sarah L. Reitz

A collection of 26 poems arranged in four acts, tracing a journey from darkness through self-discovery to love. What you hold before you is not simply a collection of poems. It is a map of one woman's interior landscape—the peaks and valleys, the barren stretches and the sudden gardens that bloom in unexpected places.

Sarah writes like she's running out of time. Her words tumble forth with an urgency that feels almost dangerous, as if stopping to polish a phrase might mean losing the raw truth of the moment entirely. This is not careful poetry. This is excavation.
