About the book
Logophilia is a love letter to language and to the deeply-human urge to name what resists naming. In this Voyage of Verses Award-winning poetry collection by Cecilia Jeffers, words are drawn from dictionary, myth, memory, and silence itself, then merged with lived experience — mapping the fragile terrain of the heart and mind.
Each poem begins with a word yet refuses to be confined. Language stretches and loosens, allowing the personal to brush against the immense, the ancient to coexist with the immediate. A Norse void may stand in for indecision; a quiet joy may read like field notes from the pursuit of peace. Across themes of memory, longing, faith, grief, and joy, Jeffers treats language not as ornament but a living force — capable of wounding, healing, and carrying meaning where silence once reigned.
Intimate without being insular and lyrical without excess, Logophilia invites readers into a space between private reflection and shared recognition. Here, words become bridges and doorways into meaning, memory, and soul.
