Author Description

Ariana D. Den Bleyker's poems take the reader's five senses to the sanctity and regret of memory. These fragile, short poems are long in effect; lingering like unresolved childhood memory.

I set aside my earthly concerns and traveled to landscapes at once lush and stark. Yes, that's entirely to be expected with Ariana's incredible writing. ~ Marian Kent, author of Responsive Pleading
