Autor

Chanel Barbieri is a poet who finds beauty in the vibrant chaos of life. Her work explores the raw depths of motherhood, freedom, and the natural world, capturing both the tenderness and intensity of these experiences.Her love for poetry began in her teenage years, inspired by her father, a gifted poet whose words sparked her own love for expression. Though her style is distinctly her own, Chanel has long admired Henry Lawson for his storytelling and deep connection to the land. While her poetry is more intimate, it explores the heart of motherhood and the raw, transformative journey.At the heart of Chanel's poetry are her two children, Vincent and Dante, who inspire and serve as the inspiration behind this collection. To her, motherhood is the very fabric of life-a thread that connects past and future, weaving together generations of nurture and love. Her poetry draws from this sacred journey, capturing both the gentle and untamed essence of being a mother.Chanel's own experiences deeply influence her work. She freebirthed her second child, Dante, an experience that reinforced her belief in the power of women's bodies and the innate wisdom of birth. Her passion for self-sufficiency and off-grid living reflects her desire for a simpler, more intentional life-one she embraces in every way possible, though living on acreage is still a future dream.Though the power of language has always captivated her, it was motherhood that truly brought Chanel's poetry to life. What began as the occasional verse became a full expression of the beauty, chaos, and transformation of raising children. With every poem, her desire to capture life's raw authenticity only deepens.Through this collection, Chanel hopes to foster a sense of connection among mothers-past, present, and future. She believes that, though each journey is unique, motherhood is a thread that transcends time. Her poetry serves as both a reflection and a reminder of this unbreakable bond-the universal sisterhood of mothers and the beauty found in the everyday chaos of life.
