En cada palabra que escribo, dejo un pedazo de lo que siento. Hay ausencias que solo encuentran su voz en el papel, recuerdos que se convierten en versos cuando el corazón calla. Y en cada línea, un eco de amor, de nostalgia y de un adiós que nunca se olvida. Perder a alguien cambia muchas cosas. No siempre de golpe. A veces solo te das cuenta de que ya no eres el mismo de antes. Este espacio es para quienes atraviesan ese momento. Para quienes siguen adelante mientras por dentro algo duele. Para que quien lo lea sepa que no está solo en ese dolor.

In a landscape often dominated by concrete and glass, these poems reveal the "insurgent life" thriving in the margins from the dandelion cracking the sidewalk to the fox reclaiming the night. This is more than just a standard book of poems about nature; it is a guide to seeing the world differently.

In the third instalment of the series, Conversations with Myself is a deeply shattering collection of poems about survival and hope. Hope, once a negative influence, now a possible bright light and worthy companion. What was a comfortable descent into madness now a long hard walk back towards the sun. Strength, bravery and resilience; a personal account of what it’s like to have been abused so terribly and finally, at long last, moving on. The ending of a painful era. These conversations with ghosts; no longer needed or wanted.
