Breach Of My Heart Review By Chef Marilyn Doucette

Posted by Marie on Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

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.

When I took time a day or so later, I found myself drawn to read a page or two. I did not stop, could not stop until I had read Breach . . . in its entirety.

Your style of expression is not typical of most poets and that is good. My final thoughts: It was easy. I felt some emotion while reading at times, but never a feeling of hopelessness. I would have liked to have read some humor. I have to believe that you were able to laugh at some point during that time.

    This book is a soulful journey with expressions of truth, love, loss and all that embodies life through the poetry in it.
    It is about allowing our inner voice to form a relationship with our outer voice, so that we can improve our relationships with our loved ones.
    It is also about allowing old wounds to heal by opening our hearts and sharing what we feel with the people who matter the most to us.
  • Breach Of My Heart

    Her entire community had been destroyed and there seemed to be no real assistance in sight or understanding of how or even if the city would be rebuilt.
    After renting one half of a "shot-gun" double house in the "uptown" area of the city, she faced her city by day and her demons by night! It was during that time that some of her most emotional, raw, pure, explicit and graphic poetry which became "Breach of My Heart."
