The Heart Has Its Reasons is a lyrical exploration of why we love and the quiet, often unspoken reasons that bind us to others, to memory, and to place. In this collection, emotion becomes geography: rivers of longing, gardens of grief, and rooms that echo with tenderness and regret. Each poem pulls the reader inward, toward the center of the heart’s reasoning where logic dissolves and only feeling remains.

With language that is both intimate and resonant, the author traces the contours of love’s enduring aftermath: the moments that define connection, the ache of absence, and the stillness that follows realization. Whether read as personal reflection or universal truth, Heart Reasons invites you to linger in the spaces between what is said and what is deeply felt.

Perfect for readers of Mary Oliver, Ada Limón, or Ocean Vuong, this collection honors the beauty in vulnerability and the quiet courage it takes to feel everything fully.
