About this listen
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A book like no other, I Am Maria weaves Shriver’s hard-earned wisdom with her own deeply personal poetry. I Am Maria reminds listeners there is strength and love on the other side of all of our hardest days.
I Am Maria is a powerful collection of Maria Shriver’s own poems that grapple with identity, grief, love, loss, longing, heartbreak and healing.
Her deeply personal poems address life’s transitions, challenges, successes and failures. Vulnerable and deeply moving, Shriver’s words are a collection of her life experiences woven into poetry to inspire everyone on their own journey. It is also an invitation for listeners to write their own personal poetry, reclaiming the art as accessible to everyone and a tool to look within.
I Am Maria is a roadmap for anyone trying to shed the labels, layers, and armor that holds us back from creating a wildly authentic and meaningful life.
“I never imagined writing poetry would help me embark
On a journey deep into myself
I never imagined that everything I sought or thought I needed
Was within me all along”
—from I Am Maria

“I read this book on a rainy day, sitting in my window seat, and I wept. I wept because I’ve known Maria since we were in our 20s, and in this book she has opened her soul and allowed all of us—anyone who has ever experienced feelings of loss or grief or not being enough—in. Maria’s poems lead us to the open field, a place of self-love, healing, and home. It is an astonishing work and I am so proud of my friend and the woman she has become.”—Oprah Winfrey
“I love I Am Maria for the same reasons I love Maria Shriver: her courage and honesty, depth, wisdom, and charm. These reminiscences and poems are so fresh and personal, about the joy and heartbreak of one woman's life, the hope she has found in the dark times, and the abiding light of love.”—Anne Lamott, bestselling author
“With an elegance befitting her stature, Maria ventures courageously beneath the surface of her storied life through poetry, beckoning us to meet the truest version of ourselves within this universal medium of self-discovery—the one that perseveres through life’s challenges so we can reemerge stronger and brighter than before.”—Rich Roll, bestselling author of Finding Ultra & host of The Rich Roll Podcast
