If in a Poem I Left You Wanting: poesía en inglés y español

By Marie Anzalone

This book of bilingual poetry, written in English and Spanish, was created between 2021 and 2023. Marie is an international development specialist and renaissance woman, and she brings her observations into poetry that, as her writer and scientist friend Francisco says, "I see you in every poem, I feel you in each verse. I feel the litle girl that you carry inside you and the woman who is a fighter, the incomprehension with the present and the profund love you always carry." This book is divided into two halves. The first half is dedicated to personal reflections, on empowerment, rising out of depression, love, facing down enemies, and family. The second half is dedicated to social justice themed poetry, inspired by work, readings, travels, interviews, etc. This half touches on popular culture, climate justice, loss of freedoms, a woman's place in the world, the world we are creating for the next generation. Marie is an artist, and painted the book cover as well as designed several deocrative word clouds for the interior. This book, even more than many previous tomes, was a labor of love for the writer. All works have been hand translated into both English and Spanish.
