For You My Lady: Reflections Of A Female Life in Poetry

About the Book

Book Summary Carmen’s poems are reflections on the simple and yet so complex interactions of feeling love or resentment on the hard lessons we learn of life itself. Most of her poetry addresses the person, to which the poem is intended directly, creating immediacy and involving the reader in an almost inescapable manner. There is honesty and transparency in these verses, and at some level, a sense of a gift that the writer wants to offer, with affection and sometimes with resentment. Some of the poems in this collection are sensual and fiery, revealing desires and inner turmoil. Carmen seems to see beyond people and events; probably what the people themselves cannot see; maybe their potential; perhaps what the author herself would like to see. At times, her subjects seem to transform themselves in front of her, fruit of her changing perceptions or manifestations of their multiplicity. The reader will find delight in these poems, and will also experience the hard lessons of love and life itself has to offer all of us.
