About the Author

Heather Krystecki

“poetry lives
in the everyday”

Heather Krystecki is a poet and writer whose work explores the intimate geography of human connection—the moments of recognition, vulnerability, and quiet understanding that define our deepest relationships.

Her debut poetry collection, I See You, I See Me, is a meditation on seeing and being seen. Through spare, honest language, she traces the contours of love, loss, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to be truly known by another person.

Heather's writing is rooted in the belief that the most profound truths live in the simplest moments—in the pauses between conversations, in the way light falls across a room, in the space between two people sitting quietly together. Her poems don't ask to be loud. They ask to be felt.

i write because
some things are too true
to say out loud—
so i give them
to the page instead

She shares her poetry on Instagram, where her words have found a home with readers who see their own stories reflected in her verses. Each poem is an invitation—to pause, to feel, to recognize ourselves in someone else's truth.

When she's not writing, Heather finds inspiration in the quiet rhythms of everyday life—the conversations that linger, the moments that catch you off guard, and the kind of love that doesn't need to announce itself.

Philosophy

On Writing

Poetry, for Heather, is an act of translation—taking the things we feel but cannot say and giving them a form that others can hold. It's the bridge between the internal and the shared, between solitude and belonging.

Her work resists the pressure to be performative. Instead, she writes toward honesty—the kind of honesty that feels like a deep breath, like the first moment of understanding after a long silence.
