is a collection of poetry and short stories about the betrayal, longing, loss, and love we all experience. Through intrusive reflection on the relationships that define her existence, author Tatianna Salisbury's debut book focuses on prominent forms of love; how we enjoy its light and survive its darkest moments.

Through five chapters, we experience the lifecycle of love through Tatianna's eyes. As love sparks, takes, hurts, heals, and lasts, intimate stories from Tatianna's life are displayed, divulged, and in some cases, dissected. Words My Heart Needed To Hear is truly a love letter to her own heart, and one she hopes to share with the world.
