A River of Rain: Book of Poetry

By River Michaels

POETRY THAT SPEAKS TO EVERY SOUL "River Michaels is a talented writer and poet with an eye for detail and an ear for rhythm that produces great poetry. Rivers poems have touched the hearts of many." - Rev. Alex A. Benten, Houston, Texas "Rivers poetry gives you a window into the world as seen from her unique, original and wonderful viewpoint. Reading her poems will challenge you, make you think, and cause you to look at life in a whole new way. And thats a good thing; a very good thing." - Robert Matthews, Professor, Sam Houston University "Rivers poetry is composed from the intertwinement of her deep experiences and her intense, vivid soul that when heard leaves your ears musically mesmerized and your heart hugged with a lesson of love that the world needs to feel." - Dawn R. Higgins, Educator, Dayton, Texas Wringing intense significance from seemingly everyday events, interactions and experiences, River Michaels touches a deeply personal yet universal chord in A River of Rain. The fifty poems collected here reveal a profound human spirit in diverse ruminations on death and longing and the inescapable passage of time. Through it all, Michaels demonstrates a keen sense of the music and weight of words. The result offers new insight into the otherwise ordinary, and a strengthened appreciation for our limited time on earth.
