"Poetic Conversations" by Amanda Torroni is a collection of 70 snippets of dialogue from her most popular Instagram series of the same title. The exchanges are largely open-ended and gender neutral, on topics ranging from self-discovery to friendship to falling in love (and falling back out of it). The dialogue is structured in such a way that it reads like poetry, with internal rhyme, subtle shifts, punchy finishes, and profound revelations throughout. The reader will find him or herself finding their own context for each conversation and inserting their own characters. A conversation that may feel devastating for one reader brings closure and a sense of hope for another. Some of them are eerily reminiscent of conversations you've already had before, some of them you hope you never have to, and others you wish to have some day. Whatever the case may be, "Poetic Conversations" is a journey through the way we talk to each other. It's poetry on your lips, the stars on your tongue.
