Deanie will be reading from her first full collection of poetry WALKING NAKED Under a Yellow Rain Slicker.
Order from Amazon
Deanie Rowan Blank’s richly exuberant, emotionally powerful poems are at once history and memorial, mounted like gemstones in time’s setting and yet liberated wholly from mere chronology. They remind us how slight the distance from Long Island Sound to Galway Bay, from our youthful lives to our mature memories forever pulsing with the pains and passions of lives lived fully, nobly, marked now in rich and resplendent poetry whose obligato is inextinguishable resilience. These fiercely honest poems lesson us eloquently in that transformative gazing.
