Author Description

In her eleventh book release, Allie Marini explains in her collection of modern love poems how she loves her fiance more than you do. "Allie Marini warns the reader: I'm bracing up to get my heart wrecked. We walk with her to the cliff's edge. She prepares us for the drop and all the dangers. With bold lyrics, she brings us along on her one open-eyed jump. In this collection, she captures her trepidation, then exhilaration with language and imagery as surprising as a sudden romance. Each poem is a dive into fresher water. The reader will want to clamber up and free fall into these poems again and again."--Janeen Pergrin Rastall, co-author of Heart Radicals. Poetry. California Interest. Women's Studies.
