A debut poetry collection by author and poet, Katie Walsh Straight. 
 
American Mornings invites readers into an intimate exploration of loss, connection, and the essential process of unbecoming on the journey to becoming our truest selves. Katie Walsh Straight weaves together images of light and shadow, illuminating the quiet power of life's simplest moments. With a voice that is raw and authentic, she guides us through the often gritty and grey everyday intersections of pain, longing, joy, and hope, offering a profound reflection on what it means to fuel our own resilience.
