What We Touched, Then Lost is a tender and haunting journey through the emotional landscapes of love, longing, grief, memory, nostalgia, and regret. In this deeply intimate collection, Arya Dawn crafts over 200 poems in a wide array of forms?some delicate as breath, others expansive and immersive?drawing from poetic traditions across centuries and cultures.
Each piece captures the raw ache of the unsaid, the remnants of what was almost, and the quiet beauty in remembering. Whether it's a single line that stings like a memory, or a multi-stanza elegy for what slipped away, these poems speak to the universality of heartbreak and the fragile hope of healing.
Blending classical and modern styles, lyrical rhythm and unstructured thought, this book offers a poetic refuge for those navigating the echoes of love and the ghosts of goodbye. It invites the reader to pause, reflect, and feel deeply.
For anyone who has ever missed someone in silence, carried a memory like a scar, or held onto words they never said?What We Touched, Then Lost is a companion through the ache, and a mirror to the soul.
