What Readers are Saying
“I absolutely loved reading your book! The structure is amazing. The way each poem is followed by a deep reflection and then a self-reflection section—it’s such a unique setup. It allows the reader to process and appreciate the poetry in a whole new way. I’ve never read a book like this before, and I think it’s brilliant!”

“A breathtaking, deeply human experience.”
Saleem Abdal-Khaaliq
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Luciana opens a door wide enough to enter the whole of a life. There is a bioluminescence to her autobiographical rendering—her glow pulls you into the dark essence around it: joyfully tragic in some instances. This book isn’t just poetry; it’s a masterclass in storytelling, guiding reflections, and a nonlinear lattice of memory and legacy. It educates and elevates.”
Francis Adolfo Abreu
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“The first poem, The Big Sea That I Sail, stopped me in my tracks. I couldn’t get past the first stanza without tearing up. The realization of what the ‘Big C’ represented hit me all at once, and I was a mess! This book is incredibly deep and touching.”
Jessica Martinez
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Your book has the potential to deeply connect with readers because of how raw and emotionally honest it is. You explore themes like abandonment, identity, gratitude, toxic love, and your cancer journey in a way that invites readers to reflect on their own lives.”
Joel Hawksley
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I speak three languages,” is a profound and insightful exploration of the nature of language, communication, and human connection. You’ve crafted a piece that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant.”
