The Way We Move Through Water by Lino Anunciacion

Lino Anunciacion’s The Way We Move Through Water is a stunning collection that transforms pain into light, planting flowers in the places where we least expect them to grow.

These poems move like water—quiet, powerful, and impossible to hold still—carrying readers through family, history, and trauma. Serene, powerful imagery confronts the legacies of our pasts and the lineages that shape our existence.

 A collection about learning to keep moving, even when the waters run deep.

My ancestors drifted here on a tree,
or perhaps what used to be.
Pressed their bony fingers into it,
as it shook from the waves.
