Coming January 2018, a new collection of poems titled 'Pieces of Me - A Mess of Words From a Once Messed-Up Life.' This is volume one in a three volume set! 

 ~“Diane Tilley’s subtitle reads: A Mess of Words From a Once Messed-up Life,” and her poetry offers a vivid definition of bringing beauty out of difficulty. As evidenced in works such as ‘Rain Dance’ and ‘Lost in the Moment,’ Tilley has allowed her life to shape her poetry, and now her poetry inspires a simultaneously reflective and Carpe Diem tone, not an easy feat. Make no mistake, though, this work is not all rainbows and seizing moments, there are poems that do not have happy endings, poems that many of us can relate to when life has felt heavier than our shoulder’s capacity to carry, such as ‘Once More.’ If you love poetry as a means for thoughtful introspective reflection and occasional inspiration, this book comes highly recommended.” - Luke Savage, English Professor and Author of ‘My Life, My Death’ 

~"I could relate to so much of what I read, and feel it so deeply." - Christopher Bartlett

~"I have to say this book is, in a word - beautiful. The title, first of all, captures it all. This book was a snapshot of everything Diane Tilley has been through in her life. As I read each of the poems, they tugged so much at my heart, and it was hard not to get emotional. Each of the many works Tilley has in this collection shows a side of her pain, happiness, anguish, love, and despair. Diane Tilley gave us an insight of all the moments that she has been through, and with this collection readers will be able to connect with each of them because they all have their own story to tell and she is carrying us on her journey." -Sylvia Stein, Author of 'The Diary of a Broken Father'

This is where I will post any upcoming book events, readings, or interviews!
