Marmoritorso by Enja Seppänen
Marble statues stand in quiet beauty, bearing the marks of time and conflict.
Marmoritorso is a debut poetry collection exploring grief, sisterhood, and the search for a life of one’s own making. Through her poems, a young woman journeys from a small town to the farthest corners of the world, navigating different beliefs, worldviews, and ideas of good and evil in pursuit of inner peace. Her longing for life and a persistent, haunting desire reveal the fragile connections that imperfection can forge with something greater.
