Of Love & Lust: A Caribbean Woman's Magic!

By Michaelle Martial

Of Love & Lust: A Caribbean Woman's Magic is the second book in the Micha lle Martial's series Journal of the Caribbean Nightingale. In this book of poetry, the author uses humor to tell the story of a US immigrant woman of Caribbean descent as she navigates through the ups and downs of dating post-divorce and abuse. The book is composed of three sections in the following order: "Of Lust," "Of Self-Love," and "Of Love." Each section has ten poems. One of those poems is in completely in Haitian Creole ("Laviwondede") and another one is entirely in French (A fleur de peau). The thirty pieces are in diverse literary forms ranging from Villanelle, to free verse poems. The author has portrayed love and lust two in separate lights, all while implying that self-love comes before truly loving someone else in a romantic relationship. Through these writings, the author hopes to inspire women (and men) everywhere to fall in love with who they are, including their body, no matter the shape or size. As it was the case for Book 1 in this series, The Nightingale's New Song: A Black Woman's Poetic Notes, there will also be a release of the poetry album for Of Love & Lust: A Caribbean Woman's Magic narrated by Micha lle Martial, also known as the Caribbean Nightingale Poet. All available Poetry Albums can be downloaded directly from the author's official web page at www.Caribbean-Nightingale.com.
