The title is a humble one, as there is nothing ordinary about the substance of this book - or, for that matter, about this author or her obvious talent. Her powers of observation, her gift of nuance, her shimmering skill with language is nothing short of extraordinary. I cannot recommend her work highly enough. - Wanda Lea Brayton, author of "Swanee Sighs"

"Zayra is a genius"
I have to confess that I don't sit around reading poetry very often, but when Zayra Yves asked me to write an introduction for her new collection of poems, I was extremely flattered. I'm a huge fan, and I DO sit around reading her poetry. And, quite frankly, it has blown me away.

Zayra has something very rare--a seemingly direct pipeline to the depths of what it means to be human--as well as to that which is beyond the merely human.

I told readers of my blog (www.centerpointe.com/blog) that "Zayra's poetry will make your toes curl!" Later I realized that I should have added that it would also make their souls curl--because though her poetry is... More > sexy and passionate and evocative it is also thoughtful and profound. If you'd like to be transported to places in yourself you've been unable to express--or perhaps awaken places you didn't even know were there--get this wonderful little book.

And, while you're at it, consider getting a CD of Zayra performing her poetry, which adds still another dimension of passion and feeling.

Zayra's genius will change you, I promise. < Less
