Description
Marlene Dietrich’s Eyes is a collection of poems that speaks to a woman’s journey through time, history, and the self. These poems reflect luminous insights appearing on a dark horizon when hope and courage seem to dim. The poet’s voice finds its place in language that explores reflections that open any human heart to the possible, the redeemable, the precious. Writing is a ritual of self-definition, a visible striving to defy forces that would limit and define without the power of self- authorship. The poems are construed as rites that expand a feeling into a tangible medium that clarifies a deep preoccupation with the intentional power of the creative.
