Allegories Brenda-Lee Ranta

A beautiful and lyrical collection of poetry that uses human experience, particularly loss - of love, life, self, to explore the intricate relationship between connection and disconnection. The author brings together a powerful and expansive vocabulary to convey the extent of interconnectedness in a cause and effect existence. We cannot expect to experience forgiveness and acceptance, unity and love without knowing what it is to be shunned, broken and misunderstood. If you know the torment of fight or flight, been dealt your fair share of damned if you do, damned if you don't, this poetry collection is for you. It's the silver lining you never knew you were looking for.- L. J. Diaz, Author
