Nicole Cavaluzzi

Must Have Been Those Butterflies is a collaboration of poetry with photo art strongly influenced by Nicole's personal experiences with lust, infatuation and love. The words and images shared in this book are real notions, created by her highly sensitive, emotional psyche. An expression of her most intimate, deepest thoughts, shared vividly and freely, meant to entice, inspire and enlighten an open minded, curious and emotionally intrigued audience.

The emotions in both the photos and the poetry are a reflextion of her complex personality--sensual, sexual, artistic, sadistic, intimate, aggressive, strong, sensitive, impatient, analytical, friendly, carefree, funny, loving, trusting, considerate--intertwining, toying and tangling her in and out of relationships.

The intention of this poetry and photography book is to express the emotional torments that tease the soul and taunt the heart on behalf of the millions of hidden, shunned, shamed, unexplained, damaged, jaded, sorry, degraded, sad, angry, betrayed, forgotten, and alas, broken, hearts. May the reader find comfort and encouragement, inspiration and realization in her words and images; rest knowing one is not alone in the lonely world of lost loves. Although she's had her fair share of emotional battles and scars, she vows to never lose hope in finding true happiness, as she follows hers: Butterflies.
