Description
The Couch of My Life
Book Summary
This collection of poems is a testament to personal liberation. After years of self-imposed silence, the author finds in writing the tool to break her own chains. Through poems that flow like songs, the reader witnesses an intimate journey exploring universal feelings such as love, heartbreak, strength, injustice, and friendship. The couch becomes a safe space where the voice of the soul is expressed without filters, offering a work that seeks to connect with those who also long to be heard and understood in their most authentic essence.
What is it about?
The work is constructed as a poetic confession in which the author describes her life and her way of perceiving the world. Each poem and song that makes up the book is the result of a process of introspection and catharsis. Starting from a central metaphor—that of a cell and an unjust sentence of silence—the text narrates the moment the bars open and the protagonist sits on her couch to finally speak. Throughout the pages, reflections follow on life, inner strength, personal relationships, and the need to be oneself, all expressed with the intensity of someone who has been quiet for a long time and now has much to say.
