What if the universe you've been searching for was already inside you?
Self as a universe is a collection of poetry exploring what it means to be human: to question, to love, to lose, to heal, and to return home to oneself.
Written over a year of inner transformation, this collection unfolds across five chapters - Self Inquiry, Self Healing, Self Harmony, Sacred Self, and Peaceful Self - tracing a journey from conditioning to liberation through unlearning, remembrance, and the discovery of beauty hidden within the ordinary.
Each poem reflects moments of grief, joy, impermanence, self-discovery, and the courage required to live authentically.
Through poems and reflections, Mathilde De Luca invites readers to slow down, feel deeply, question the stories they inherit, and reconnect with their most authentic self.
A reminder that we are not fragments searching for wholeness, but whole universes waiting to be explored.
For explorers, seekers, and anyone drawn to poetry, philosophy, personal growth, and inner exploration, self as a universe offers a gentle companion for the journey back to yourself.
