Everything Before is a raw, unflinching collection of poetry that traces the architecture of trauma, love, survival, and becoming.
In these pages, Giulianna Montana documents the girl before the breaking, the woman forged inside it, and the quiet strength that grows in the aftermath. From childhood wounds to forbidden longing, from addiction metaphors to the anatomy of silence, this collection moves through memory the way memory actually works- nonlinear, visceral, and honest.
These poems do not ask to be comfortable.
They ask to be felt.
Everything Before is for anyone who has loved too hard, trusted too easily, survived what they never deserved, and is still learning how to bloom anyway.
This is not revenge.
This is testimony.
This is survival written in ink.
