Dreams and Cries Are Saved and Silent is a collection of poetry written by author Maria G Veneros. It is suitable for the general reading audience and covers a variety of themes. With work covering such subjects as love and nostalgia for the things we half-remember, this work is an exploration of the human heart and the importance to our souls of loving as much as we can. Whether that love is for a person in front of us or the memory of someone we parted ways with a lifetime ago, the love itself is always strong within us, and reflections upon it will help us grow.
It is important, I believe, to stop and take stock of our lives every once in a while; to consider the roads that we traveled to bring us to where we are, as well as the ones not taken. Poetry is, of course, a potent tool for such reflections, and as I took my time digesting Maria G Veneros’ work I found myself thinking about my own experiences with love. The ways it has changed me, the ways even lovers I’ve not seen in years helped inform who I am. There is pain to be found in some of those memories of course, but there are also good times that I found myself smiling about as the poems of Dreams and Cries Are Saved and Silent washed over me and took me on their journey of reflecting on the love I have given out and received over my life.
