TAMA LEIA
THE ROMANTIC
Poetic Reflections on Love
A PERFECT BOOK!
​
"The Romantic by Tama Leia is a walk through the prose of love.
It also focuses on everything related to human relationships in different circumstances.
In addition, it deals with themes such as tragedy, nostalgia, compassion.
It is loaded with creativity and intimacy.
Like all works of poetry, it is about the soul of the artist, the soul of the poet being expressed through verses. And this is invaluable.
My three favorite poems are: Italian River, The Lost Crown, and You are Beautiful."

A POETIC BIOPIC
Within the pages of The Romantic: Poetic Reflections on Love, the author embarks on an exquisite journey through the intricate landscape of love and relationships, illuminating the myriad forms affection can take—all beautifully rendered in lyrical verse. Growing up on the sun-kissed beaches of California, Chanel and her childhood sweetheart, Grey, forged a bond that seemed unbreakable, until life whisked her away to the confines of boarding school, severing their connection and leaving a profound void in her heart. Though fate eventually reunites them, their long-awaited encounter is bittersweet, as they are soon torn apart once more.
Then, one fateful day, destiny intervenes in the form of Marmont, a dazzling star whose presence enchants Chanel in ways she never thought possible. Their whirlwind romance sweeps her from the shores of California to the vibrant streets of New York City and the enchanting avenues of Paris, where, almost magically, a radiant Harry Winston diamond graces her finger. With dreams of forever dancing in her mind, Chanel believes she has discovered her destined love—until fate, with its unpredictable twists, unveils a path fraught with challenges.
As Chanel navigates this journey, tantalizing hints of other romantic possibilities emerge, including her elusive muse, Thom Godric, who will play a pivotal role in later tales. In moments of solitude, Chanel fears she might be destined to remain alone. However, just when her heart begins to grow cold, a handsome royal from Denmark named Noble sweeps into her life, igniting a spark she thought had long dimmed. Noble introduces her to a breathtaking world she never knew existed—the pristine white sandy beaches of Denmark, the grandeur of the monarchy, and the enchanting castles of Copenhagen.
Through this transformative journey, Chanel discovers not only the beauty of new love but also the profound strength within herself to embrace the unexpected. Yet, when she and Noble temporarily part ways, the reader is left pondering the other possibilities presented by her "almost love," the enigmatic French scientist, Pierre. Furthermore, a mysterious American stranger waltzes into her life for just one day in Paris, leaving a fleeting yet profound impression that lingers with the taste of possibility. The mysteries of love intertwine in this beautifully compassionate narrative, inspired by real-life events.
The Romantic also encompasses other dimensions of Chanel's life, including her deep love for her friends and family, the vibrant cultures and cities she explores, and her unwavering dedication to humanity. These encounters weave a rich narrative tapestry of poetic reflections on love leaving readers eagerly anticipating future stories that detail some of these larger than life characters and magical moments in works such as Little Poets, Marmont & Me, The Danish, Musings of a Poet and The Beautiful American.
Tama, the author, boldly shares her introspective moments in verse, believing in the therapeutic power of vulnerability. Through her poignant poetry, she invites readers to experience her joys, heartaches, and profound revelations. Each moment she shares serves as a stepping stone in her quest for identity, ultimately revealing the resilient woman she has become.
​THE ROMANTIC IS A POETIC MASTERPIECE
From the sweet innocence of her first love with Grey to the thrilling new chapter with the charismatic Marmont, and her enigmatic connection with Noble, Tama weaves a tapestry of passion, heartache, and growth. The way she navigates these relationships and captures their essence is both raw and relatable. Every poem feels like a window into her soul, offering us a glimpse of vulnerability that makes the book all the more poignant."
