Instigated By Heartbreak Kintsugi Through Poetry

Instigated By Heartbreak is a raw and resonant blend of poetry and prose that traces the emotional journey from the rise and collapse of love to the halting work of restoration. Inspired by kintsugi—the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold—these pages do not rush romantic grief; they hold space for it, honoring the depth and complexity of every emotional phase. Moving between lyrical poems and reflective narrative passages, the book creates a hybrid reading experience that unfolds as one continuous emotional arc. Each piece deepens the exploration of love, loss, clarity, and the resurgence of self, offering an intimate portrayal of what it means to confront difficult truths and create beauty from what has been fractured. Though rooted in the particularity of one heartbreak, this collection speaks to anyone drawn to emotional storytelling and introspection.
