It Never Rains Upside Down

About the Book

Contemporary poems for women

It Never Rains Upside Down is a collection of poems written over several years that poignantly chronicle certain universal truths involving affairs of the heart. Life is largely about relationships, and these reflect on the marvel and mystery of loving and losing, trusting and doubting, hurting and healing, togetherness and loneliness. In the process of living, we have all known moments in time that are punctuated by exuberance, intimacy, heartache, vulnerability, disillusionment, celebration and sorrow - in short, these poems are about the condition of being human.
