Piece by Piece - Paperback

Written over several years, these poems trace the author's journey through heartbreak, rebuilding, and the quiet decision to love again. The collection moves through the breaking of a heart, the slow work of putting it back together, and the unexpected strength that comes from listening to it more closely than before. The poems sit with grief, longing, anger, desire, and the question of belonging-without rushing toward neat conclusions.

Written in both English and Spanish, the poems reflect the author's experience of thinking, feeling, and loving across languages, cultures, and emotional borders. They explore romantic love, family, friendship, identity, and a form of self-love that is not performative or loud, but steady and earned.

This book is for readers who have been broken open by love and chose, nonetheless, to keep their hearts soft-those who understand that loving again does not mean forgetting, but trusting oneself to endure what comes next.
