Will You Help Me Spread a Message of Hope and Courage?
Dear friends,
I hope you’ll share in my excitement as I celebrate the release of my two latest books:
🌱 Cultivate Curiosity: There is Hope Even in Unimaginable Circumstances
🕊️ Notes to a Little Bird: Reclaiming Civil Society
Both are rooted in poetry and storytelling—truths spoken from the heart in a time that desperately needs it.
I’m deeply humbled that Cultivate Curiosity reached #64 in Political & Protest Poetry on Amazon. And I was moved by this generous review from Readers’ Favorite:
“Narratively engrossing and thematically rich, Cultivate Curiosity is a book of poems any poetry reader would love to have on their shelf. Richard Silvia has penned a riveting collection.” —Pikasho Deka
And Notes to a Little Bird? It’s something different—more like a journal for our time. A heartfelt collection of reflections meant to restore connection, courage, and common sense in an increasingly divided world.
But here’s the truth: I can’t do this alone.
If this work resonates with you—even just a line, a feeling, or a shared belief in a better world—I would be so grateful for your help.
