Words From a Spoken Darkness

Anna-Maria has taken a bright shine to poetry and writing from an early age. She has compiled her love of poetry into one anthology, published in 2019 

“In the midst of our adventures of love and happiness, at times we are riddled with grief and heartbreak. In this loneliness, we all reach out to survive the journey that we call life. Through poetry and prose, this book delves into love, religion, politics and most importantly, into the darkest corners of our lives to let you know that you are not alone.”

What Others Have Said

Anna-Maria Barbaro tugs at the strings of forbidden love and forces us to relish in the bounty of colorless desires that could never come to life. A heart that has never known love, a dangerously serpentine love, a love that is unruly, and a love that is unreturned and unrequited; all these are explored in this collection of 38 poems titled Words from a Spoken Darkness. This is a cluster of poems ladened with desires hidden away, unearthed, and unspoken. Each one is very much like the next, yet each one is a different story, a different yearning, and a different burn.
