Yesod Roots of the World Poems - by Mercedes Muñoz Paperback

This is a stunning and accessible poetry collection for readers who appreciate meaningful art, even if poetry isn’t something they read often. Muñoz writes with clarity, warmth, and depth, weaving together personal stories with reflections on love, family, faith, injustice, and healing. The poems are emotionally rich without being confusing or overly abstract. You don’t need any special background to connect with this book — it speaks directly to shared human experiences like longing, resilience, and the search for belonging. What makes this collection special is its balance. Some poems are intense and thought-provoking, while others are gentle and restorative. The book feels carefully shaped, guiding the reader through difficult terrain and ending in a place of reflection and grounding. This is a beautiful book to spend time with — one that feels both intimate and expansive, and one you may find yourself returning to.
