Meet Barbara

Barbara Gianquitto | Poet. Mother. Bestselling Author.
I didn’t choose the words.
They found me -
in the dark, in the quiet,
in the moments I thought I had nothing left to give.
I’ve been the woman on the bathroom floor.
The mother holding it together by a thread.
The daughter navigating life without a mother to call.
And somehow, in the middle of all of it -
I became the poet.
My name is Barbara Gianquitto, and I write poetry rooted in real life.
I’m a mother of two daughters, a bestselling author, and a woman who’s lived her way through heartbreak, healing, and self-discovery. Over the past few years, I’ve written five books - each one born from experience, shaped by softness, and grounded in truth.
My latest book, I Hope You Know, is a #1 Amazon Best Seller and has touched thousands of hearts around the world.
I write for the women who carry too much,
for the mothers who give their all,
for the ones learning to choose themselves.
My words are for you -
if you’ve ever whispered, “I just need to feel understood.”
If you’ve ever needed a voice to say:
“You’re not alone.”
That’s why I write.
Come sit with me. There’s always room.
I’m here for you as you are—in all the different versions of you.
