Synopsis

In Pour Out, Abel Saldaña offers an unflinching, intimate poetry collection that traces the long arc of trauma, survival, and the difficult grace of healing. These poems move through the aftermath of PTSD, illness, grief, and inherited pain, speaking plainly of panic attacks, hospital rooms, intrusive thoughts, and the quiet domestic spaces where memory refuses to stay still.

Saldaña’s voice is piercing, yet attentive to the body as an archive — one that remembers what the mind would rather forget. Kitchens, bedrooms, parking lots, and waiting rooms become spaces of reckoning, where love, fear, and endurance come together. The collection honors the ordinary courage of staying, breathing, and learning how to live again in a body altered by trauma.

Throughout Pour Out, family histories of alcoholism, loss, and silence are named with grace, held alongside tenderness for parents, grandparents, and partners who shaped the will to heal. These poems acknowledge the cost of survival while refusing despair, offering moments of stillness and hard-won peace.

Clear-eyed and compassionate, Pour Out is a book for readers who understand that healing is not a single revelation but a daily practice — one breath, one memory, one quiet mercy at a time.
