Lost in Love

Lost in Love is a full-length poetry collection born from the quiet breaking of the heart—and the slow, uncertain journey of putting it back together again.

Within these works, pain is not hidden. It lingers in every line, in every memory of love that once felt like home and loss that lingered in the shadows. These poems trace the scars left behind—softly, honestly—without turning away from the weight they carry. This collection sheds light on the darkest parts of what it means to heal from years of emotional abuse.

But even within this heartache, something begins to shift.

Through grief, longing, and reflection, Lost in Love reaches for healing. It reminds readers that growth often comes from the deepest wounds and that even when we feel lost, we are still becoming something stronger, something whole.

For anyone who has ever loved, lost, and wondered how to keep going—this book is for you. Your pain is real and deserves to be felt.

Where the Body Becomes Sea

In Where the Body Becomes Sea, Lia Valenne composes a poetics of dissolution, where the body is no longer fixed, language no longer stable, and identity no longer secure. These poems move through absence, memory, and rupture, tracing the fragile boundary between what can be held and what inevitably escapes. Here, the self is not a unified voice but a shifting field of echoes: fractured, searching, and persistently unfinished.

Valenne’s work resists consolation. Instead, it lingers in the tension between presence and loss, where meaning flickers but never settles. Images emerge like tides, returning, receding, and transforming, carrying with them the weight of longing, estrangement, and quiet resilience. The sea becomes not just a metaphor but a condition: vast, unstable, and generative, dissolving the limits of the body even as it gives form to its depths.

With lyrical intensity and philosophical depth, this collection invites the reader into a space where poetry does not explain but enacts, where language breaks, reforms, and opens onto something both intimate and ungraspable. Where the Body Becomes Sea is a meditation on what remains when certainty dissolves and on the strange, enduring impulse to speak from within that dissolution.

Shadowful Light

Why do shadows and pain so often come to us side-by-side with goodness and light?

In a world that seems to be equal parts love and despair, the relatable moments and memories shared in this poetry collection give voice to our complex emotions.

Through everyday experiences and language, with profound insights, poet Loretta Fox invites readers to explore the relationship between light and shadow, both metaphorically and (sometimes) literally. The poetry offers a unique perspective and representation while being unafraid to tackle topics that strike at what it means to be human. Descriptive imagery mirrors the intensity of feelings.

You will be inspired to notice beauty in your own life, especially as you work through pain and disappointment, and to consider your connection to other people, to the spiritual realm, and to something greater in the universe.  

Shadowful Light will help readers embrace life’s questions and remember that no one is alone.
