I am Denis Bernardo, a writer who believes some things are only understood once they are written down. I don't write to impress or explain, but I do write to make a statement, to make sense of the fragments I carry in myself and others, as well. My work leans into memory, silence, love that never fit, and the weight of things left unsaid. I am drawn to matters of what is broken inside and outside, complicated, complex and unresolved. Not everything needs closure, that's the brutal reality, and my stories reflects this side of the world.

My writing style is introspective, a bit raw, sometimes poetic without meaning to be. I do not try to sound like anyone else. I write the way I think, and often, the way I remember. My characters comes to me as strangers and for me, they are like ghosts, and I can only get to know them if they allow me to. There is a part of me in some sentences I write, I thrive on writing about complicated and difficult matters and what is going on in the world as society, I dig contradiction and I like controversy. 

I am not here to teach or preach, I just believe that I have something to say. And if it finds you, maybe it's because part of you was waiting to be seen.
