A mesmerizing collection of poetry for daydreamers and visionaries

“Granted, poetry can be thorny and often difficult to comprehend. But some poetry, like that in Maria Alice Silva’s new book, is like a small gift: morsels of meaning slide right past your poetry defenses and lodge in your head and heart. You don’t have to love poetry to love Maria Alice’s poems. There is no secret key required to unlock them. They speak to common aspects of all our lives—dreams, nature, challenges, relationships—and we can receive the poems’ insights loud and clear.”
– Alice Parente, Executive Director, Process Theatre

“These poems are philosophical meditations about life. A life filled with happiness, a life filled with sadness. Maria Alice explores contrasting universal themes such as love and pain in this collection. Trails filled with thorns and chasing false dreams to love in the park and music filled hallucinations. This poetry collection has it all.”
