This Vulnerable Heart

There is a lot to reflect upon after a decade of marriage. From the ups and downs of dating, to the unsteadiness of a new life together, through moves across the globe, and learning to love not only your partner, but yourself.

In her debut book of poetry, This Vulnerable Heart, Jillian Liota touches on the very moments that can make or break relationships. Fighting. Communication. Support in the wake of loss. And through it all, she presents a picture of marriage as a beautiful place to grow up and grow old. Together.

it did not take long
to know without fear
there would be nowhere
safer in this world
for this vulnerable heart
than in your loving hands

A book of poetry about love in all its magnificent forms.
