words my heart needed to hear

by Tatianna Salisbury

Words My Heart Needed To Hear is a collection of poetry and short stories about the betrayal, longing, loss, and love we all experience. Through intrusive reflection on the relationships that define her existence, author Tatianna Salisbury's debut book focuses on prominent forms of love; how we enjoy its light and survive its darkest moments.

Through five chapters, we experience the lifecycle of love through Tatianna's eyes. As love sparks, takes, hurts, heals, and lasts, intimate stories from Tatianna's life are displayed, divulged, and in some cases, dissected. Words My Heart Needed To Hear is truly a love letter to her own heart, and one she hopes to share with the world.

Loved this collection of poems. I have no idea how poetry resonates with others, but for me, I love it when (rarely) the words of a poem invoke thoughts and feelings and ideas about my own life. The writer of such lines is the author whose poetry I will always read. And Ms. Salisbury is one such author.

Each poem in this collection is a delicate dance of words, capturing the essence of love in its many forms. This book of poems is perfectly put together and takes you on a journey of love from beginning to end with every excitement, hurt, ache, and closure you need. Throughout, I felt myself relating to many of them, putting stars and marking the pages that stood out the most. Tatianna has a way with words in which she is able to take her thoughts and feelings and write them down in the form of poems. Highly suggest checking out!!
