Sometimes the passion can burn, at other times it leaves you with second-degree burns.

Love letters and pocket knives is J.J Celli's debut book of poems. A razor-sharp insight into this writer's heart and past. Hard truth, love, obsession, pain and longing find their place in words and fragments in this book.

Judging someone's poems is always a tricky step, after all, can you equate someone's pain with a number of stars? And doesn't everyone read these poems in their own way?

Not every poem touched me equally or came in as hard. I also noticed that I did not understand everything immediately, but can you understand what cannot be explained? The words are pure, some raw others poetic. Each part and each knife explores another part of the truth and the closing of a chapter.

Important! There are potentially triggering elements in this book! It can be a comfort to those looking for that but also be especially warned. But above all, remember, you are never alone.
