My Life in Words

Tara has been writing poetry since she was nine years old, and she has been fortunate enough to have multiple poems published.

She writes poems from her perspective, from the perspective of fictional characters, and everything in between. Some of her poems rhyme, some are free verse, but they are all original. She also has a poetry "blog" as well as a poetry page on Instagram where she publishes micropoetry.

Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson are two of her favorite poets, but she also loves the "mad ones" like Jack Kerouac.

Tara lives and breathes in the pauses between the start and the stop.

Now Available: Fragments of Farewell

Tara published her first poetry chapbook, Fragments of Farewell, in April 2025 through Scribbler Services, her author services business.

Fragments of Farewell is a raw, luminous collection of poetry that captures the ache of love lost, the quiet unraveling of identity, and the slow, stubborn resilience of the human spirit. Tara Goodyear weaves together memory and longing, heartbreak and healing, with verses that linger like whispered truths. From the smoldering embers of past relationships to the silent scream of private despair, each poem is a fragment—a moment suspended in time—that speaks to what remains after goodbye. Intimate, haunting, and profoundly human, this collection invites readers to sit with sorrow, find beauty in brokenness, and remember that survival is its own kind of triumph.

Coming Soon: Echoes in Silence, Tara's first collection of poetry focused on unrequited love and heartache.
