In this stunning debut collection, New York–based artist and poet Ray Testa invites readers on an intimate journey through thirty deeply personal poems, each paired with an original artwork from his studio. This beautifully crafted volume is more than a book. It's a celebration of life's quiet revelations, enduring love, and the power of creativity to heal and inspire. Each poem stands as a window into Ray's world: thoughtfully observed, honestly felt, and richly imagined. Every image echoes its poem's spirit, adding color, emotion, and depth to the page. This is the first in a trilogy of poetic reflections and a timeless keepsake for poetry lovers, art collectors, and anyone moved by the beauty of human connection.
