Books with author Marie Allred

This collection of poetry is a raw and emotionally gripping tale told through a loose narrative style and imbued with Allred's passion and personality. It retains a beautiful and haunting style of composition in which we are given an unfettered look into the thought processes -however different than our own- of mental illness and the brutal honesty of it. The often lyrical style and lightness of the rhyme arrangements that juxtapose the weight of the concepts discussed within are powerful and unique among contemporary poems.

Allred takes us on a beautiful journey in this poetry chapbook, full of poignant and ever-so-raw emotionally charged poetry that leaves her readers breathless as always. Growing Pains is an enchanting and eloquent reminder to us that life's trials are the mental and emotional equivalent to growing pains, harrowing and impossible as they may seem, they are catalysts for growth and testaments to the glorious process of refining a human.

Allred's new stand-alone poetry collection entitled "The Lighthouse And It's Keeper" is a breathtaking journey that enlightens and uplifts her readers from all walks of life. As she describes the beauty of the lighthouse (or the life of the reader) and the keeper (the reader themselves), Allred graces us with the beautiful gift of a poetic guide to self-acceptance and self-love that each of us not only desires but truly deserves. As always, her words are somehow both rawly poignant and yet utterly light and warm as the morning sun at the same time, providing us all with a seemingly contradictory - yet nonetheless real - sense of wonder and camaraderie so intense it is unlike any other poet before her.
