These poems follow a course that began with the death of the author's eight-year-old brother when she was just six, and her endless longing for his return. It took a lifetime to be free of those yearnings. She did that through her writings and love of nature.

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.

After the bestselling I Wish I Knew, Donna Ashworth has now produced an extraordinary three-volume collection of poems that will touch and inspire every listener in the ups and downs we all face in love, in life and in loss. These brilliantly accessible poems bring delight, comfort and strength in the height of romance, the darkness of grief and the endlessly unpredictable moments in between.

Guided by the Roman poet Virgil and the love of his life, Beatrice, Dante traverses the three realms of the dead—Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven—encountering sinners, souls seeking forgiveness, and divine beings. With vivid imagery, sharp social commentary, and profound spiritual insight, The Divine Comedy is an unforgettable exploration of the human soul’s journey toward salvation.

Herein lies a raw exploration of duality, darkness, and desire. A collection of sonnets, haikus, and free verse that brings to the surface our fractured pieces and celebrates how the light and the dark blend to make us whole. An invitation to embrace the shadow and give it its rightful place as a part of the self.
