Melora Walters

Dear Mr. Brancusi Melora Walters

Melora Walters's deceptively languorous poems jolt the senses like a rattlesnake tooth discovered in rumpled linen sheets. Her hypnotic lines wind tighter and tighter until you gasp, unaware you've been holding your breath as you read. Kim Ohanneson, Co-founder of The Whisky & Poetry Salon *** Melora Walters is esteemed as an actor, artist, and screenwriter. As a poet, Walters draws from those influences to birth poems full of fresh insights and narratives. The poems in her brilliant new book Dear Mr. Brancusi give generous attention to poetry's artistry, and to the human condition. This collection is outstanding, and exceptional in its assurance.
