What if the hardest person to be honest with… was yourself?


Into the Light is an evocative and beautiful poetry collection exploring love, heartache, and self-acceptance.
Structured in three celestial movements, The Stars, The Moon, and The Sun, Daniela Koulikov follows the journey of finding inner peace.

Into the Light asks what we silence to be loved and what it costs us to keep doing so. It explores the joy of letting go of it all and reclaiming your voice and identity.

For anyone who has ever felt caught between who they are and who they thought they had to be.

catharsis,

at finding the words you were so scared to say.

catharsis,

at letting the handcuffs melt away.

- Into the Light  

LGBTQIA+ Themes
Contemporary, Poetry, Poetry By Women, Love Poetry
