Secrets Unearthed, Petals Unfurled

In this second collection of poetry, Contemporary Romance novelist Regina Bergen peels back the layers of silence that wrap our deepest secrets. With unflinching honesty and lyrical grace, she weaves her own hidden stories with anonymous tales entrusted to her by others-providing comfort and solidarity while embracing truth and seeking emotional release. This shared human experience reminds us we're never truly alone.

The collection unfolds in two movements: First, an intimate journey through personal revelations, then an exploration of how these private moments echo in the natural world around us. Her free verse transforms private pain into universal truths.

From mental health to lost love, from cultural identity to grief, these verses create a safe harbor for the stories we struggle to tell. Like scattered seeds taking root, these poems grow into something larger than confession-they become an invitation to embrace our whole selves, shadows and all.

Following the success of her debut poetry collection Amidst Fading Blooms, Regina once again proves that our most carefully guarded secrets, when finally given voice, can blossom into unexpected beauty.
