Red

Red is the culmination of decades of poetic writings in many forms and expressions. This collection includes classic verse such as sonnets, triolets, villanelles, ballads and other structured writings which will greatly appeal to those who appreciate technical, complex poetry. It also includes poems in stark contrast--testifying to the versatility of the author--which take such shape as free verse, sarcastic endeavors, unstructured musings, all painfully raw and real in their depth of exploration and exposure of the human heart. Themes include War, Love, Heartbreak, Femininity, Betrayal, Defiance, Motherhood, Healing, Trauma, and others which relate to us all in our moments from fragility to fortitude of the human condition.
