Adorning The Darkness: The Poetry Of Stephen D. Rhoades Enhanced By The Breathtaking Riya Albert

By Stephen D Rhoades

"While it may sound cliche', I truly am humbled by this opportunity to be allowed to use the stunning photos of Riya Albert in this book. For a while, I have seen her photos shared on social media and was always amazed by how the genius of the photographer was evident in how they captured so much in every image. I was equally struck by how Riya Albert conveyed so much through her eyes, and various expressions. When I write, I am writing about what many people miss in others and putting words to what many cannot. I'm inspired by what the eyes, facial expressions, and body language say about a person. With Riya Albert, she fit perfectly with many poems I had written in the past. One of the coolest things is that I write on a wide range of topic's and her, along with her photographer, managed to capture all those in different ways. Which is incredible in itself. So when I approached Riya about using her pictures in a book along with my poetry, she made my day by saying yes. So here it is. I'm absolutely thrilled by how it turned out and hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed putting it together."
