Impossible to Compose: Love in Poems

by Adrianna Stepiano

This is a collection of poetry wrote in the form of healing prayers after lost has been lost and breaking hearts begin to open with memories of pain and mistake. This is a prayerful stance that even when forced physically to dictate yourself to another, you can resolve with God to feel whole again.

This is not about violets but a mere mention of violence and stripped down emotions. This is not for children, but has not foul language just content for an older more used and abused generation.

Please thanks be to God. Amen.

About the author

Adrianna Stepiano is the author of Memoir of a Mermaid, her debut novel that captures the allure of the aquatic world through the lens of teenage fantasy. Inspired by her childhood experiences along the East Coast and the Great Lakes, Adrianna's fascination with merfolk lore resonates throughout her writing, echoing the enchanting qualities of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales. A lover of classic literature, her work also draws inspiration from the likes of Ernest Hemingway, Jane Austen, Emily Dickinson, and Jules Verne, blending timeless themes with her unique narrative style.

Residing in Michigan with her family, Adrianna is deeply committed to her faith and actively involved in advocacy for mental health, reflecting her dedication to impactful themes both in her writing and her community engagement. Also a poet and performer, she often shares her work in public readings, embodying the emotional depth and creativity that define her as an artist.

Educated at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she earned her degree in Computer Art, Adrianna's artistic talents extend beyond writing. Her college years, marked by frequent visits to Tybee Island, reignited her love for mermaid mythology—a theme that beautifully permeates her artistic and written works. Adrianna crafts her stories to blend fantasy seamlessly into the real world, making the unseen believable in our daily lives. She explores the hidden lives of those around us, building her narratives on the Earth that exists today rather than distant, mythical realms. This approach makes her debut not just a book but a gateway to a mesmerizing, yet relatable, fantasy interwoven with the familiar fabric of our own world.
