In a collection that explores the delicate spaces between silence and voice, Shanelle Rucker’s debut poetry book takes readers on a journey of transformation and reclamation. From the hush of “Dislocated” to the reverberations of “Structural Soundness,” these poems navigate memory, loss, desire, and rebirth with raw intimacy. Through evocative snapshots of heartbreak, longing, and renewal, Rucker’s verses pulse with dynamic rhythm and emotional resonance, unfolding like whispered confessions that transform shadow into light. With crisp imagery and unflinching honesty, she illuminates the fissures in our lives and the quiet strength that emerges when we learn to speak our truths. Perfect for fans of Ocean Vuong and Imogen Heap, Becoming Sound invites you to listen for the echoes of your own story and to find power in vulnerability.
