Renee Styliara was born in Athens. She made her debut with the poetry collection “Distinguished” (2013). All of her books are best sellers. To date, she has over 200 products. In addition to her writing work, she also serves as a lyricist. She is the first in Greece to introduce handwritten lyrics to social media, creating something fragile and romantic in a cold and electronic world, which is identified with the image. Of course, this innovation has now found many fans and people who have been inspired, doing something similar. Her great success – and, indeed, with a difficult audience, who previously did not read – lies in the fact that she manages to capture profound meanings in simple and understandable words.

Abstract
This work is a collection of intimate reflections, where language becomes body-and-shadow: words “rest on naked bodies, narrating their undisclosed stories.”
In “A Love Without Intention,” love is depicted not as a calculated act, but as an unpremeditated force, a current that sweeps through everyday life, raw and unbidden. The author explores desire, vulnerability, and the spaces where two people meet without fully knowing why. The poems and prose navigate between memory and the present moment, illuminating how love arises in unplanned encounters, in the fragments we leave unspoken, and in the silences we inhabit.
The tone is direct, almost confessional, yet suffused with metaphor: the physical, the emotional, the unseen interplay. Ultimately, the book invites readers to consider: what would happen if love wasn’t pursued with intention, what if it simply arrived, and we were there to receive it?
