It seems my heart is made of tissue paper; I wish the world would handle it more delicately." —Richelle E. Goodrich
A collection of original poetry by American novelist, poet, and illustrator, Richelle E. Goodrich.
Each chapter in this book touches on a specific emotional experience that affects the human heart within a lifetime. For example, the first chapter, titled TO LOVE, includes twelve poems that express aspects of love. Another chapter, titled TO LOATHE, includes poetry touching on life’s harsher challenges. The literary works in this book were written in a variety of poetic styles including sonnets, haikus, free verse, and cinquains.
A Heart Made of Tissue Paper is a treasury of hard-earned joys and sorrows survived.

There are 86 original poems in this book, 84 of them arranged by chapters. Every chapter is devoted to one heartfelt emotion or emotional truth. Some of the poetry is light and whimsical; it will make you smile and maybe even laugh. Other poems delve deeper into the darker trials attached to hard feelings. All of the poetry was written to be relatable on some level. Of course, based on individual age and experience, verses will touch one person's heart more effectively than another's. There are illustrations included in this book that correspond to the poems preceding them. I love how each drawing includes a heart (or multiple hearts) within the picture. It keeps nicely with the book's theme of the delicate yet resilient nature of the human heart.
