About this book

"if given your life once more, how would you love yourself differently?" (re)love is a poetry collection inspired by the daily struggles we face in our lives, including mental illness, self-love, inherited faith, and our shifting understanding of identity. Thematically situated around the earth and its greenery's life cycles, this collection explores concepts of spiritual growth, time, sexuality and gender, living with physical and mental health conditions, and the mystery that dwells within and among us. (re)love invites us to plant and cultivate new seeds of self-love and compassion, reminding us that "relearning is welcomed by this tender earth."

Praise for this book

“These poems grip and liberate, they breathe you in and blow you suddenly elsewhere. With the liveliest insistence, with a succinct honesty so gentle that sorrows and hopes land like seeds in the soil of now, Michaela Atencio opens the reader into ‘this gap/between time and eternity’s collisions called the present.’”

M Jade Kaiser, co-founder and director of enfleshed


“With deftness and gentleness, Michaela Atencio creates a spacious place to exhale, to see and be seen, and to come home to ourselves. In their vulnerability and presence, Atencio welcomes all parts of themself, and in doing so, invites us all to do the same.”

Laura Jean, queer writer and theologian
