Ink Over Gold: A Poetry Collection

By Jessica Zaideman

This is a collection of becoming.

A raw and intimate journey through love, identity, heartbreak, and the quiet work of rebuilding. These poems trace the space between longing and loss-where emotions burn too bright to ignore and silence speaks just as loudly as words.

Set against the backdrop of city streets, late-night thoughts, and shifting seasons of the heart, this collection explores what it means to love deeply, lose quietly, and still find your way back to yourself. Love arrives here as both refuge and unraveling-tender, consuming, and impossible to forget.

But beneath the romance is something deeper: transformation. The shedding of old selves, the reckoning with grief, and the slow return to wholeness. These poems hold the moments we outgrow, the ones that break us open, and the ones that rebuild us in unexpected ways.

For anyone who has ever felt too much, loved too intensely, or had to start over after falling apart-this collection offers recognition, reflection, and release.

Unflinching, emotional, and deeply human, these poems do not ask for perfection. Only honesty.
