About Me

My name is Taylor Nivienne. I am an Italian writer, and Éire i mo chroí is the place where my connection with Ireland finds its voice.

Where it began

A connection that became a story

I write about love, identity, second chances and worlds where people can finally feel at home. Writing has been with me for as long as I can remember: poetry first, then short stories and, eventually, novels.

Ireland entered my imagination long before it became a project. In its landscapes, language, music and traditions, I recognised something familiar: a longing for a place that can call to you even from far away.

That is where Éire i mo chroí began. It is not a travel guide, but a literary space for stories, poems and fragments born from the wind, memory and the quiet magic of roots.

The words that bring me closer

I am learning Irish to draw closer to Ireland’s culture and roots through its own words. I am fascinated by the way it gives shape to feelings, holding an immense depth within its words. Even when saying ‘I am sad’, it does not turn sadness into who we are: it makes it a living presence, something that is with us without being the same as us. In this way every emotion, from sadness to love, can be felt fully without becoming a definition: what we feel belongs to us, but it does not encompass all that we are.

Every page, three languages: Irish, English and Italian.

Beyond the page

Beyond writing, there are other languages that nourish the way I see and tell the world. Music carries me where words can barely reach; photography teaches me to pause over a light, a detail, a moment before it disappears. Animals, too, return me to an authentic kind of presence, made of trust and gestures that need no voice. The atmospheres I love grow from that same gaze: a road in the mist, a lit window, the silence before the rain. Different experiences, joined by the same desire to listen to what so often goes unnoticed. And everything that touches me will, sooner or later, find its way into a story.

“There are places you do not choose. They are the ones that keep choosing you.”
