Reviews

Ashley Angstadt: ""I absolutely loved reading your book! The structure is amazing. The way each poem is followed by a deep reflection and then a self-reflection section-it's such a unique setup. It allows the reader to process and appreciate the poetry in a whole new way. I've never read a book like this before, and I think it's brilliant!"" Saleem Abdal-Khaaliq: ""Luciana opens a door wide enough to enter the whole of a life. There is a bioluminescence to her autobiographical rendering-her glow pulls you into the dark essence around it: joyfully tragic in some instances. This book isn't just poetry; it's a masterclass in storytelling, guiding reflections, and a nonlinear lattice of memory and legacy. It educates and elevates.""Jessica Martinez: ""Your book has the potential to deeply connect with readers because of how raw and emotionally honest it is. You explore themes like abandonment, identity, gratitude, toxic love, and your cancer journey in a way that invites readers to reflect on their own lives.""Dr. Mike Hunter: ""This book was more than just a read; it was a deeply personal journey. It felt like a reflection on my own life's winding path, reminding me that the road isn't always straight. It's filled with highs and lows, fears, tears, and losses, and the true lesson is in how we navigate those challenges. The author's notes explaining the poems were a brilliant touch, adding a layer of depth that made the experience truly meaningful. This book isn't just to be read-it's meant to be experienced. It's a guide that encourages introspection and helps you see your own story with a fresh perspective. I'm so glad I took my time with it, letting the words resonate and reflect on my own life."" Susan Brumel: ""Your writing is exemplary and I enjoyed every word of it! I found your heart and wisdom on each page. I was swept away on my own emotional journey while reading about your own. You are courageous through vulnerability, and you inspired me, as you will everyone who reads your words. I especially enjoyed the interactive component of the book because it creates an intimacy between you and the reader. Genius really! Yours is not 'just' a book of poetry, but an experience of poetry. Congratulations, Luciana.
