RE: Threshold

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you! That's a great (and accurate) stanza! I'm going to have to go in search of some of Marilyn's other writing. Do you have a favorite book of hers you'd suggest? Now that you mention it, I think most of us creatives are a little "crazy" but then I sometimes wonder if the normies (non-creatives) aren't the ones that are truly insane. ; )

Sort:  

She only published one book that is for sale on Amazon, although her work appeared in journals and she has won poetry prizes. Actually, I helped her to format that book for amazon: There Is a Special Place. Marilyn passed away in 2014. I'll give you the last stanza from the title poem:

There is as Special Place

No need to ask about the bell that tolls,
No Need to ask if where they fell they stay.
There is a special place for soldiers' souls,
Their bones 'neath markers spread on grassy knolls.

What an apt time for her poem.

Thanks for the title and that timely verse! I just bought a copy of the book. 😊

Thank you! I think you will love what you read. She was brilliant and kind. A good soul, and it comes through her writing.

You’re welcome! I can’t wait to read it.

Just bought the Kindle version of this: Poems from the Edge of the Apocalypse: A Collection of Poetry . I will read as I go to sleep at night and will write a review when I am finished.

Thank you! I really appreciate that. : )
