Silhouette is the narrative of the heart of humanity. It captures tales of love lost, and labour gained. In its lyrical prose and empathetic poetry, Nancy Viera is many people. She is the lover who has left her heart in another country. She is the mountain, where flowers grow, freeze, die, but find a way to bloom again. She is the smell of a grandmother's cottage, the pain of a childhood memory, the brush of a curl that can't fit into straight lines. She is the rough hands of a mother, the fire of romance lost in a dream, the silhouette of tiny jars that catch our feelings when "we sin, we love, we move on."

Beautifully crafted, each poem is delivered with rawness and grace.

Industry Reviews



"If readers are looking for a book where unconditional love is the recurring theme, this book is for them. The poems capture different stages within my own life. It took me back to dirt roads in old trucks. The world moved a bit slower and we were able to really feel our feelings.

Nancy's poems and short stories tell of raw moments where love isn't pretty but love is the answer. Nancy gives love the action of grace and acceptance. In moments where we can break down and feel like it should already happen for us, Nancy shows us time and time again how she chose to learn through love instead of being weakened by it. Love isn't weakness, love is strength. 

Nancy is the heartbreaker, the one getting heartbroken, the one who chose yourself instead of the man, and the one who has recurring heartbreaks due to a lost love. Her delivery of what love could and can be will reach so many. We have all been in moments where we got caught up in love. Whether it felt good or hurt, we have all been there. 

Love is not pretty, but she delivers the rawness with grace. This book is a collection of women's love letters that we secretly keep locked away. Nancy truly will touch many with this book."

-Sara Williams, author of Sleeping with New York
