Broken Silence

By Anita Bunor Nwachukwu

What do you do with the words you never said-and the people you can no longer say them to?

If you have ever held back a feeling, missed someone whose voice you can still hear, or searched for a way to be understood, these poems make room for you.

In Broken Silence, Nigerian poet Anita Bunor Nwachukwu gives voice to the moments that stay with us: the closeness of love, the ache of distance, the laughter of a cherished friend, and the questions left behind when a father is gone.

Across four sections-Finding My Voice, Love & Longing, Memory & Grace, and Becoming-this debut collection moves through memory and imagination, inviting you to find your own meaning in its words.

Inside, you will discover:

Intimate poems about love, longing, and the distance that can grow between two people.

Moving remembrances of a father and a beloved friend.

Reflections on loneliness, unspoken feelings, and the courage to find your voice.

Moments of faith, hope, and resilience woven into everyday life.

Sixteen poems accompanied by sixteen illustrations, offering space to pause and linger.

For quiet hearts, thoughtful readers, and anyone carrying a story they have never quite found the words to tell, Broken Silence is an invitation to feel, remember, and connect.
