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. 

Tara published her first full collection of poetry, Echoes in Silence, in early summer 2025 through Scribbler Services, her author services business. 

In Echoes in Silence, love lingers in the spaces between what is felt and what is returned. This evocative collection captures the fragile beauty of emotions that hover just out of reach-affections offered but never embraced, moments that almost became memories, and hearts that nearly touched.

Each poem is a quiet confession, a tender unraveling of hope, hesitation, and heartbreak. With intimate and restrained language, the collection explores the ache of being close enough to dream, yet distant enough never to arrive. It's about the text never sent, the hand never held, the love that bloomed in silence.

For anyone who has ever stood on the edge of something beautiful and watched it slip away, Echoes in Silence is a mirror to the soul-a lyrical journey through the quiet devastation of loving without being loved back. 

A love letter to the darkness we carry. 

In Call Me Miss Melancholy, Tara Goodyear distills the ache of longing, the weight of loss, and the fragile persistence of hope into verse that lingers like a whispered secret. 

These poems navigate the quiet violence of memory, the duality of light and shadow, and the yearning to belong, not to the world, but to someone who never looks away. Raw, lyrical, and unflinchingly honest, this collection is a lantern for anyone who has ever felt unmoored, reminding us that even in the deepest dark, beauty endures. 

A voice that refuses to be silenced.

The Anneslee Poems is an intimate, unflinching portrait of a teenage girl navigating the wreckage of family, identity, and survival. Through raw, lyrical verse, Tara Goodyear gives Anneslee, a fictional teenage girl from an unpublished novel, a voice that speaks the truths others bury: about love twisted into violence, the weight of inheritance, and the desperate hunger for freedom.

This collection is more than poetry; it's a character study in resilience and vulnerability, a journey through scars both visible and unseen. For anyone who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or unworthy, Anneslee's story will echo long after the last page.
