This memoir is absolutely beautiful, not just in the poetic vulnerability but also in visual layout. So creative never read something so raw, devastating, beautiful and loving

In Heartstrings: A Poetic Memoir, author Frankie Hau offers readers a uniquely beautiful portrait of his life story. He explores the concepts of nostalgia, love, loss, choices, perseverance, timeliness, and longing for peace, all through the captivating medium of poetry. With verses which I daresay would bring a tear to any eye, readers are along for the ride as Hau recalls his experiences with attraction, love, and romance; then with tension, conflict, and heartbreak. As if his lyrical expressions weren’t haunting enough in meaning alone, he also takes the daring and stylistically difficult risk of an organized rhyme scheme — and, of course, the execution is immaculate. Easily the most resounding poem in the collection, “Myr” recounts the horrors of children living in currently wartorn Ukraine. In such a deeply personal book, its impact was intense. Overall, this book is not one I will soon forget, and I recommend it to all readers.

Beautiful Poetry from the heart

There’s lots to love in this collection of poetry by author, Frankie Hau, but my favorite was, “Time’s Unforgiving Dance”. It’s a beautiful poem about life and balance. Hau is a very talented poet and his work definitely shines in this book. The pictures included lift and add mood to each piece. Well done!
