Synopsis

Love is complicated. Life even more so. In his moving collection of poetic expressions, Sergio Cantu offers an intimate exploration of the spectrum of emotions that accompany a rich and nuanced life filled with complicated relationships yet defined by a ceaseless search for truth and the courage to keep doing the best we can. Consisting of 37 poems addressing topics as diverse as painful family trauma to imperfect best friends to lovers lost and found and more, these heartfelt expressions reflect Cantu’s journey of transformation from a young man filled with rage to a poet who daily battled the demons that chased him. Asking questions and digging deeply, Cantu honors emotions ranging from hate to passion to loneliness to despair to exhilaration. In so doing, he explores what it means to be fully human and to come to terms with what we really need in life even as we strive to turn our dreams into reality.

About this title

About the Author

People have different stories to tell, but we all experience the same emotions in life. We write to express ourselves, to find our voices, to create a movement, or to document our passion and motivation. Sergio writes short stories and poems about his personal experiences to invite a correlation with other individuals going through similar experiences. Always curious about others, he asks friends and strangers about their experiences and for their perspectives on specific topics. He wants people to realize that sometimes a single word or poem can make an impact and help us understand each other. Ultimately, his goal is to demonstrate that we’re not so different from one another after all.
