Description

Purple Rose: The Stars Carry Her Name — Letters from Me to Her is a collection of 33 love letters written in Raleigh, North Carolina, to a woman living there. His writing is rooted in heavy metaphor and soliloquy, painting a world of cathedrals, demons, angels, stars, and memories reflected in mirrors. James V speaks of his muse as something beyond ordinary beauty—an angelic and divine presence who dances amongst the stars: his Purple Rose. Before his Purple Rose and he sadly parted ways, only a handful of these letters could be sent. James V believes the door to her has closed in this lifetime, but he also believes he is not bound to this life alone, and neither is his love for her. So he published these letters so that, in the next lifetime, she will know how deeply she was—and still is—loved. With no prior knowledge of the language, James V also hand-translated a handful of poems into Tagalog for her, as it is one language within her heritage—a gesture meant to show that love is willing to learn the language of the heart in every form it can. In the years to come, this collection stands as the emotional foundation of a larger dark fantasy series still unfolding. The same themes of devotion, longing, destiny, and eternal return will continue through future works. James V takes it a step further with his pledge: VOTUM Latin — “a vow or sacred promise; a solemn pledge offered to the divine.” “I have found you in lifetimes before. I may not have you in this one, but we’ll find each other again in the next.” — James V The Poet Since publication on December 17, 2025, Purple Rose: The Stars Carry Her Name — Letters from Me to Her has earned the following recognitions: IPPY Awards 2026 • Bronze Medalist International Impact Book Awards (IIBA) 2026 • Winner — Contemporary Poetry • Finalist — Author of the Year Prestigious International Hope Book Awards 2026 • Winner — Best Poetry of Hope Book • Winner — Best Grief, Loss & Bereavement Healing Book • Finalist — Author of the Year JamesVThePoet.com
