Mari Laureano

Riverborne: the Complete Riverman Series Mari Laureano

In her extraordinary new book, Riverborne, Mari Laureano eloquently and undeniably gives breath to myth with a mastery of tone and articulation that is at once erotic and mystical, hushed and compelling. The poet's intensely lyrical prose transcends the boundaries that have traditionally housed poetry solely as a mechanism of literature to where it becomes an integral part of experience. Laureano explores the human emotions of love, fidelity, trust, lust, rapture and even those of nuturing vigilance. Many of the individual poems in this collection merge recurring themes and symbolism to read, at times, as a single continuous epic poem. This new volume takes us further into that electric and volatile place the poet has already made her own. Accompanied once again by the seductive lyrics of the soulful and prolific, Raven White, the duo unleash under feverish notions, those sultry dreamscapes where body and soul come explosively together."The literary equivalent of a shot of pure, blood red light."-William F. DeVault, The Romantic Poet Of The Internet. For more poetry by Mari Laureano please visit http://www. Furiverse.com and http://www. Authorsden.com/marilaureano
