Ephemeral Echoes is a hauntingly beautiful collection of poetry that lingers like a memory you're not sure you lived-or dreamt. Kristen Gatlin-Langley weaves together grief, love, trauma, healing, and the aching silence between them in verses that shimmer and vanish like breath on a mirror. With language both raw and ethereal, these poems echo the fragility of what we carry and what we let go, exploring the spaces where pain and beauty coexist. Each piece invites the reader to stand still within the fleeting-capturing moments that refuse to stay quiet. This debut volume in The Books of Echoes series is a lyrical confrontation of the self: soft in places, savage in others, always honest. A mirror, a wound, a whisper- Ephemeral Echoes is for those who've survived the fire and still search the smoke for meaning.
