“Moments: Every One Counts” authored by Elaine Makara, is a heartfelt collection of poems that resonated deeply with me. The book traces the author’s journey, beginning with her birth as seen through her father’s eyes and concluding with reflections on her present life.

A touching moment unfolds when Elaine shares her father’s reaction to her birth. Her mother thought it would be a boy. Her father was captivated by her angelic face, forming an unbreakable bond with his daughter.

Elaine candidly refers to menstruation as the “monthly monster,” a term many can relate to. She shares her experience of beginning this phase of life at the age of eleven.

In one poignant poem, Elaine reflects on losing her father. Though his departure came too soon, she finds solace in knowing he passed peacefully—a small comfort in her grief.

The poems beautifully capture significant milestones and emotions, making it easy for readers to connect with her experiences. The writing is simple yet impactful, offering both solace and relatability. I read this collection over a quiet weekend and found it to be a comforting companion. I’m eager to explore more of Elaine’s work in the future.
