I Can't Breathe by Jo Muet-Atman is an unflinching and deeply personal collection of poetry that lays bare the suffocating reality of loss. Centered around the death of Muet-Atman's mother-whose final words, "I can't breathe," echo throughout the book-this collection does not seek resolution or healing. Instead, it dwells in the ache, the silence, and the unraveling that follows death.
Each poem is a breath held too long, a moment suspended in grief. There is no comfort here-only the brutal honesty of mourning and the isolation it brings. These verses serve as a mirror for those who have known the weight of losing someone and the unsettling truth that some wounds never close.
This is not a book about moving on. It's a book about what remains.
