Paranormal/Romance: Poems Romancing the Paranormal by Denise DumarsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Dumars' latest collection of dark poetry is a rich & strange journey through the paranormal, the mythological, & the down & dirty aspects of life "beyond the veil."
Done in skillfully controlled free verse, these poems are informed by Dumars' fascination with world myths (particularly ancient Egyptian & Afro-Caribbean traditions), her life in Southern California, and her deep, melancholy love of New Orleans past & present. These themes and many others mingle freely, offering an exotic reading experience past the scope of much recent horror poetry.
As added value for the curious reader, Dumars has included an extensive list of references & recommended works.
