Breach Of My Heart Review By Attorney Victoria Hines
I’ve been making my way through your book of poems and last night I read “Tears.” My eyes began to fill with water before I read the first line. As I read I was reminded of my own experience following Katrina. I was blessed to be able to evacuate the day before the hurricane with some friends and had to return on the Thursday after Katrina with them. (I live on the Westbank) To be honest, I did not want to come back, but I left my car at their house.
Straight From My Heart Review By Tommye Myrick
The eyes are the mirrors. How bold a poet to look within and reveal, for all to see her Soul.

Breach Of My Heart Review By Dr. Gerri Elie
Your book was so delightful and heartwarming. It tells the real story of Katrina as we saw it. Congratulations again and thanks for letting me share a small part of your fame.
Breach Of My Heart Review By Chef Marilyn Doucette
Marie, when you told me that you had written a book of poetry expressing your feelings and experiences during the catastrophe we know as Katrina, I held my breath: Yes, I would buy your 1st publication because I love you and support you; but no, I would not — could not read any books retelling the horrors of Katrina.
Breach Of My Heart Testimonial by Librarian Daniel L. Wade
New Orleans has been in the news coverage a great deal over the last week. I read Marie’s poems from cover to cover and read “Katrina” in church on Sunday. I think the American people realize a great wrong has been done - Daniel L. Wade, Associate Librarian, Lillian Goldman Law Library, Yale Law School
