Coming Undone

Coming Undone is Arroyo-Ruffin's first collection of love poems. In this collection, she takes the reader on a spiritual journey of love. From the beaches of Boqueron on her beloved island of Puerto Rico to collecting rainstorms along the Euphrates this poetic ode to love documents a lover's spiritual unraveling at the hand of their beloved. Coming Undone reminds us that love is soul shifting and transformative and with her beautiful use of words Arroyo-Ruffin shows how one comes undone in the most beautiful way. "For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn't understand growth, it would look like complete destruction." Cynthia Occelli, Resurrecting Venus
