We all love TikTok, right? Here at Bookstr, we love taking the time to recognize the poets who share their words through this great platform. These wonderful poets each now have books that we want to acknowledge. Take a look below at these poets’ spectacular works!
Diary of a Romantica, vol. I: Lovers Forgotten by Celia Martinez
The talented Celia Martinez gives readers a direct line to connect with their hopeless romantic side and nurture it. Reading this collection of poems can be related to reading an entire story filled with heartbreak, longing, and deep love. With inclusions of Spanish, this beautifully written book captures intense emotions in a world that makes it seem to find that true love is impossible. It also explores the emotions of loving someone you’ve never actually met, losing yourself, and losing someone else.

This is on our TBR, and we recommend it be your next purchase, impulse or not! Make sure to follow Celia on TikTok and Instagram!

Celia’s volume II of Diary of a Romantica continues to beautifully craft and curate her thoughts clearly as day. With more poems about genuine love and romance love, she uses her writing to let us hopeless romantics know that we are seen and we are heard.

With little moments in life – smiles, hopes, dreams, and true love – this book sparks hope in its readers.

Arsa – Fauna – Hereafter by Samuel Hurley
In Samuel’s second book, three sections express different bonds, emotions, and human experiences. The first section, Fauna, dives into the exploration of human and animal bonds while giving readers a chance to ponder the cycles in life. The second section, Asra, focuses on the forms of emotion and its power. Love, loss, and how each is such a powerful feeling. The third and final section, Hereafter, takes a different approach and digs into the shifting values of the world. Mentions of technology and artificial intelligence are included in this section, as well as major worldly questions.

Each section ponders the search for meaning and reflections on changes and challenges. This book holds more than poetry, for it holds life’s best questions and reflections.
