MIAMI, June 11, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Only by exposing her innermost feelings could poet Adriana Echeverri create a book of poetry such as A Tangled Heart (now available through 1stBooks). Through her powerful, vivid style, Echeverri writes about her experiences in life and love, offering her lessons learned.
She writes of long-lasting passionate nights, intense mornings, life despite hardship, the loss of love and many other topics -- all events she has experienced. Writing from a serenely honest point in herself, this 25-year-old conveys her experiences in love at an age where finding oneself and falling in love can create confusion while making life exhilarating and fulfilling.
Through the tumultuous times she has endured, she walks away with strength and hope she shares through her work. This openness, mixed with her mesmerizing style and Hispanic perspective, gives the reader a glimpse into one woman's feelings while relating hers to their own.
In "Have Fallen," she writes of the repeated challenges of life: "I have fallen/ Back on my feet I stand before you/ With open arms to more challenges/ And a wider view on reality/ I belong not to you, but to my strength/ Life: I stand here before you once again/ Ready to live without fear/ To accomplish what I didn't yesterday/ With faith I will climb the highest mountains/ And hope will conquer my dreams/ I have fallen/ But here I stand once again."
Born in Medellin, Colombia, she moved to the United States with her mother and younger sister after traumatic experiences in Colombia shortly after her father was killed in Colombia. Currently Echeverri is attending college and studying psychology. A resident of Miami, Echeverri hopes to travel and reach out to others through reciting her poetry.
