    mini heartbreaks | how this came to be

    ⚡️ Season 2 begins with an introduction on the inception, direction, and intention of "mini heartbreaks (or, little poems about life)" by Douglas Vigliotti, as well as the dedication and preface from the poem collection. 📚 Download a copy of the poem collection at douglasvigliotti.com/mini-heartbreaks. 🔮 In late 2021, as a writing exercise, Douglas Vigliotti, author of “Tom Collins: A ‘Slightly Crooked' Novel”, wrote a poem a day for five months, with just one rule: be honest. He had no intention of releasing any of the poems, but what emerged, was a deeply personal, unflinching, and unbridled account of his life which led to this raw, sparse, and unorthodox poem collection titled “mini heartbreaks (or, little poems about life)”. Leaving room for interpretation but organized to tell a story, this all-too-close mini-memoir in poetry form pulls up the veil on writing, artistry, alcohol, women, missed opportunities, growing up, and moving forward. Heck, it might even leave you inspired. 💔 What is a mini heartbreak? some are sad / some are hopeful / some are personal / some are long / er / than others most / are this length / though and a few / might even / make you cry or smile / or think twice / or ask yourself / is this guy crazy to that / i say / only half the time / and / i hope / you enjoy / my poems - Douglas Vigliotti ⭐️ Learn more about the author at DouglasVigliotti.com
