A Father’s Raw Battle Against Parental Alienation: New Poetry Collection Captures a Heartbreaking One-Year Journey of Love and Separation

ENGLAND, FRANCE, SPAIN, COLOMBIA & ECUADOR — A deeply moving and raw new poetry collection by debut author Luke offers an intimate look into the agonising reality of parental alienation. Written from a forced exile in the Colombian mountains, the book captures a 38-year-old father’s week-by-week journey through the first year of separation from his two young daughters, Sansa and India. With no formal literary training, Luke writes straight from the heart, transforming profound grief into a lifeline. From missing milestone birthdays and school holidays to watching his daughters’ native England and his ancestral Colombia compete from opposite sides of an ocean during the World Cup, the collection serves as a poignant, week-by-week diary of a bond that refusing to break. One of the most striking refrains in the collection sums up this relentless devotion: “No legal fiction, falsehood, or design / Can erase the truest bond upon the earth.”

This collection goes far beyond a simple chronicle of pain; it is a fierce, universal anthem for any parent fighting to stay connected to their children through a legal labyrinth or forced silence. Readers are taken into the absolute deepest valleys of despair—including the terrifying moments of hopelessness where a father fears he may never see his children again—only to emerge with a resilient, burning hope. It highlights the lengths a parent will go to keep memories alive, even scanning children's gaming platforms like Roblox just to find a digital trace of a daughter's love. It is a powerful, essential read for anyone who understands the sacred weight of family, or anyone currently navigating the quiet devastation of being erased from their children's lives.

The book is now available for purchase globally. Follow the journey, share the message, and support a father’s voice on social media using the hashtag #EveryMinuteCounts.
