In this honest and deeply personal collection, the poet guides us
through the aftermath of divorce, capturing the ache of
loneliness, the hope for healing, and the courage it takes to love
again. With each poem, she opens a window into the struggle of
navigating love's highs and lows, the heartbreaks that haunt, and
the quiet resilience that keeps her searching for that one true
connection. This is more than just a story of love lost and
found—it's a testament to the strength in letting go, moving
forward, and daring to believe in love once more.
Here's a sneak preview from Poems of Lost:
i went willingly
lapping up each drop of honey
he let fall from his tongue —
because i didn't know i was beautiful anymore

A look at what readers are saying about Poems of Divorce, the first release in SM Winter's poetry collection.
I'm not a huge poetry person, but this collection carries you through what I only imagine was the worst time in the authors life and you can feel the depths of the heartbreak and despair. Something so sad gets spun into something so courageous, beautiful, raw and heartfelt it leaves you in awe of the authors talent. Like straw to gold, heartbreak becomes beautiful art.
Lauren (Amazon review)Purchased this book and read it,front to back in one sitting. I have been submerged in books and poems about divorce/infidelity and this one has to be the one that hit me the most. The way she puts her emotions into each page and is so transparent with her journey really spoke to me. Had me crying and cheering her on! Will definitely be watching out for her second book to release!!
Jenni (Amazon review)As someone who dealt with a similar situation as the author (infidelity while parenting a young child) I really felt heard by these poems. The flow throughout the book from beginning to end felt natural and closing the book at the end felt like closing a chapter of my life. Kudos to the author for turning a sad situation into a beautiful piece of art.
AK (Amazon review)Beautiful and well-written, you can feel the emotions coming through the pages. You can feel that the author put their heart and soul into this. Looking forward to the next volume!
