Vondolyn Wright writes poetry from lived experience-love that breaks, love that returns, and the love learned by choosing oneself. Empress: Book of Pearlz gathers reflections on intimacy and independence, seeing people clearly, and trusting the quiet wisdom earned over time.
These poems move through loss and renewal, self-belief and self-recognition, aging and acceptance. Wright writes without fear of death, welcoming it as a reminder to live honestly and fully, to speak while breath is still present.
At the heart of this collection is a deep honoring of women as sovereign beings-women who carry tenderness and strength at once, women who lead their own lives with clarity and grace. Empress: Book of Pearlz is a book of becoming, written for anyone learning how to let go, stand in truth, and claim themselves without apology.
