EIGHTEEN INCHES: THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE HEART AND MIND
These poems explore the distance between the head and the heart—and all of the pain, beauty, and hope in between.
Letters, To Women Like Me is a compilation of essays and poems written by best-selling contemporary poet, Mirtha Michelle Castro Mármol. The essays derive from her personal quest of self-discovery with the overall purpose of learning herself as a woman in a modern world in which old traditions are being replaced by new ideologies. Inspired by conversations she’s had with the women in her life, she poses one to ask eternal questions in regards to love, career, sex and life; all while sharing her realizations and candid answers. It is a heartfelt journey filled with potential love stories, her discovery of self-love and confidence, laced with hope and a powerful understanding that a fulfilling life starts from within.
