A bold collection of poetry and prose that explores heartbreak, healing, and self-discovery—The Words Left Unspoken invites readers to embrace vulnerability and transform pain into empowerment.

In The Words Left Unspoken, bestselling poet and spoken word artist Allie Michelle (The Rose That Blooms in the Night, Explorations of a Cosmic Soul) offers a luminous journey through the raw terrain of the human heart. Guiding the reader through the stages of breaking and becoming, her words remind us that loss, longing, and love are not detours from life, and to respect our struggles in the same way as our successes.

This is a book for anyone who has ever swallowed their truth, dimmed their light, or carried silence where words longed to be spoken. Michelle’s poems—paired with striking black-and-white illustrations on every page—serve as both balm and battle cry. 

Whether you’re navigating heartbreak, seeking connection, or longing to come home to yourself, this collection offers permission to feel it all. With her signature blend of fierce vulnerability and spiritual insight, Allie Michelle reminds us that even in our most fractured moments, we are whole—and that the unspoken parts of us are often where our greatest truths live.
