I Am Maria is a powerful collection of Maria Shriver's own poems that grapple with identity, grief, love, loss, longing, heartbreak and healing. Her deeply personal poems address life's transitions, challenges, successes and failures. Vulnerable and deeply moving, Shriver's words are a collection of her life experiences woven into poetry to inspire everyone on their own journey. It is also an invitation for readers to write their own personal poetry, reclaiming the art as accessible to everyone and a tool to look within. I Am Maria is a roadmap for anyone trying to shed the labels, layers, and armour that holds us back from creating a wildly authentic and meaningful life. 'I never imagined writing poetry would help me embark On a journey deep into myself I never imagined that everything I sought or thought I needed Was within me all along' - from I Am Maria

Reviews for I Am Maria: My Reflections and Poems on Heartbreak, Healing, and Finding Your Way Home

“With an elegance befitting her stature, Maria ventures courageously beneath the surface of her storied life through poetry, beckoning us to meet the truest version of ourselves within this universal medium of self-discovery—the one that perseveres through life’s challenges so we can reemerge stronger and brighter than before.” —Rich Roll, bestselling author of Finding Ultra & host of The Rich Roll Podcast ""After a demanding, award-winning journalism career and tireless work as an activist on many fronts, Shriver has dedicated herself to writing and publishing books that illuminate paths to self-care. Here she shares the key to how she found a way forward after devastating losses: writing poetry. Not literary poetry, but wholly personal poetry expressing and exploring “raw, authentic” emotions... Shriver’s openhearted, easily read poems, with universal feelings at their core, chart her painful yet liberating self-analysis leading to self-love. The goal of her poetry is 'to embrace the whole of life...to grow and evolve.' She encourages everyone to do the same."" —Booklist
