Unrequited Letters Alicia Bucci

Alicia Bucci first started writing poetry as an adolescent, inspired not only by poets, but by music with deep and moving lyrics. Twenty years later, her poems still reflect their lyrical origins.



Unrequited Letters is a book two decades in the making. It's a written record of one poet's journey into adulthood, and as such, contains something for everyone. Bucci's poems explore the full gamut of human emotion, from love to anger, sadness, and heartache. She deals with grief and pain as readily as she explores hope, inspiration, and dreams.



From the defiance of "Illiterate" to the loss of friendship found in "Nothing Left to Say," Bucci's poems resonate with a rarely seen emotional honesty and strength. Her characteristically clipped verses cry out to be spoken or sung-to be released into the world from the confines of the page.



Travel along Bucci's road and take part in her creative journey. Her award-winning poems are more approachable and relatable than the heady works of classic poets. She talks from the heart first, opening herself to the world through her words. To read her work is to see her-and yourself.
