Overview

""I stayed longer than I should have. I believed more than I was given. And still, I rose."" Soft Lies and Wild Truths: A Poetic Journey Through Love, Heartbreak, and Self-Discovery is a raw, lyrical exploration of love's most intimate moments - from the dizzying highs of new romance to the quiet unraveling of a relationship, and finally, to the fierce act of choosing yourself. In this deeply personal collection, Liliana Caliente-Cazadora takes readers through the emotional stages of a love story that didn't last - but still changed everything. Each poem is a snapshot: a whispered promise, an unanswered question, a goodbye that echoes long after the door closes. Through heartbreak and healing, these poems reveal the power of truth, the courage it takes to let go, and the beauty of rising from your own ruins. For anyone who has ever stayed too long, loved too deeply, or lost themselves trying to be enough - this book is for you. Honest. Tender. Unapologetically strong. This is poetry for the brave and brokenhearted. This is poetry for you.

Author Information

Author Bio - Liliana Caliente-Cazadora Liliana Caliente-Cazadora is a Latina author whose work explores the quiet ache of longing, the beauty of vulnerability, and the spaces between what's said and what's left behind. Born and raised in East Los Angeles, Liliana grew up surrounded by stories-spoken, whispered, and imagined-that continue to shape her voice today. Known initially for her bold and sensual storytelling, Liliana has shifted toward more reflective and emotionally layered work, including poetry, romantic fiction, and literary pieces that honor the complexities of love, loss, and healing. Her writing blends raw honesty with lyrical tenderness, drawing readers into the kind of truths we rarely say out loud. Now based in Denver, Colorado, she finds inspiration in mountain sunrises, local cafés, and the deep, transformative power of human connection. When she's not writing, she's reading romance novels, collecting notebooks she may never use, and occasionally texting things she'll never send. Written but Never Sent is her first poetry collection-an invitation to sit with silence, memory, and the words we carry in our hearts.
