The Beauty in the Broken

A. Bova presents her debut collection, The Beauty in the Broken, a collection of poetry that addresses the stigma surrounding mental health. She invites readers to join her as she walks through her own personal struggles with depression/anxiety and highlights the delicacy of empathy, heartbreak, self-love, and the beauty that comes with forgiveness. This collection works as a balm soothing each crack of the soul as it is explored. From the first glance to the final breath of closure, A. Bova bares it all. A. Bova is a writer, typewriter collector, and lover of the occasional dog-eared page. She is constantly searching for the right words to describe the tiny, beautiful moments scattered across our everyday lives. Her work often focuses on mental illness and mental heath awareness. A. Bova has been published in several poetry anthologies, including: Splintered Souls and Steady Hands: Ode to Our Fathers A.B.Baird Publishing (under her pseudonym ‘Eloise’) and North Carolina’s Best Emerging Poets by Z Publishing. When not scouring the shelves of used bookstores, she’s dabbling in the written word on Instagram where readers can find her @eloise_the_typewriter. A. Bova always carries an open book and an open heart.
