Broken Hearts Gallery Literary

We’ve all been there. Somewhere along your path in life someone or something has broken your heart, and maybe like me, you’ve held onto the detritus left in its wake. If so, this is the literary project for you.

Broken Hearts Gallery Literary is run by Melissa Flores Anderson who writes about all her old broken hearts in short stories, CNF and the occasional poetry. She is collect images from writers with broken hearts and just a few words to describe it. Because its harder to write small than it is to write long, and its harder to let go of heart break than to hold onto it. It was inspired by a romance movie she watched online when she was home sick last spring, The Broken Hearts Gallery.
