After sharing my story in Loving Someone's Love, I dove into other forms of expression. Poetry emerged naturally, as a different way to explore emotions and experiences.

While the book required words to form a linear narrative, in poetry they gain freedom. They become fragments of thoughts, flashes of memory, feelings captured in verse. A new way of looking at love, relationships, and life's transformations.

heartspeak is a new collection that brings together poems, micro-stories, and short texts written over the years. They speak of encounters and farewells, of new beginnings and endings that are actually new starts. Some were born from personal experiences, others from observing the world around us.

Writing, like life, is a constantly evolving process. Just as we grow and change as people, our mode of expression also transforms. What remains is the search for honesty in words, for genuine connection with those who read them.

Words

The graphic design of heartspeak reflects the very essence of the book: each word has its unique space and meaning. On each page, the text is carefully arranged, with the title word in artistic calligraphy, creating a visual dance between form and content.

In the digital format, we maintained this same visual delicacy, where each poem and micro-story breathes in its own space, allowing the words to float on the page with the same lightness they carry in their meanings.

Designed for digital format, there is a visual delicacy where each poem and micro-story breathes in its own space, allowing words to float on the page with the same lightness they carry in their meanings.

I'll be back soon to share more about this new work, which is already available for pre-order on Amazon.
