Pieces of my Heart, by Lessie Auletti
A Lifetime of Verse
Pieces of My Heart: A Lifetime of Verse gathers decades of Lessie Auletti’s poetry into a deeply personal journey through love, loss, resilience, and hope. Across five thoughtfully arranged sections, she traces the bonds that shape a life-marriage built on endurance, the fierce devotion of motherhood, and the steady protection of fathers and partners who make the world feel safe.
Her poems listen closely to the inner voice, finding solace in nature, humor in modern rituals, and courage in long-held dreams. She confronts grief, war, sickness, and global tragedy without turning away, yet always reaches toward renewal and peace. Especially resonant for parents and caregivers, this collection speaks to anyone who has carried sorrow and continued forward.
Like a handmade quilt stitched from lived experience, these verses offer warmth, fortitude, and a quiet assurance: love endures, and hope survives.
