Catherine Anne Castillo added a status update: Happy first year to my book 🤍 In the Darkness of Shards

One year ago today, in California, I woke up to an email saying Amazon had approved and published the Kindle version of In the Darkness of Shards: Poems from a Broken Place. The paperback and hardbound followed the next day.

A lot has happened since then.

Thank you to my early readers & book community who gave this work a life beyond me.

Quotes by Catherine Anne Castillo  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Sometimes, you lose somebody
to find that love
is meant to return home.

And now,
as I gather the ashes,
I know
I will live and love again,
but this time,
it will be me
who stands in the center
of that flame.
This time,
that love will be mine.”
Catherine Anne Castillo, In the Darkness of Shards: Poems from a Broken Place

“But that love was not meant to destroy me. It was meant to lift, to be the flame that kindles, not consumes.”
Catherine Anne Castillo, In the Darkness of Shards: Poems from a Broken Place

“Confusion was not unreasonable. He who adored every quirk, every breath, turned cold, hating me for the very things he once called sacred.”
Catherine Anne Castillo, In the Darkness of Shards: Poems from a Broken Place

“The noblest art is that of making others happy”
P.T. Barnum
