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.
