A wonderful new 5-star review for 'Dark Days, White City' on Amazon...

June 28, 2015 via Amazon.comFormat: Paperback

The poems in “Dark Days, White City” capture Falina’s memories and sentiments as well as the harshness of Chicago’s winters. The intensity of such extreme weather is described in vivid detail, yet manages to convey a sense of elegance as well. The accompanying photos are beautiful, and they remind us that beauty can be found in bitter circumstances. An added bonus are the older works found at the end of the book. I especially enjoyed the mysterious story “In search of Peacock Alley.” It left me wanting to read more.

"I thoroughly enjoy reading these poems; Melanie captures both the soft beauty 
and the desolate bleakness of winter, feelings that we can all relate to during 
this bitter season. The photos along with the poems are a wonderful addition 
of wintry chill."

'Whispers In The Courtyard' is here! 80-New Orleans inspired poems all in one book!

As my four books of poetry were published individually some people asked if there would one day be a printing of all four together - like an anthology. Well, that day has arrived! 
If you'd rather read all the poetry from 'Gaslit Shadows,' 'French Quarter Rain,' 'Crescent City Fog,' and 'Vieux Carré Days' (80 poems in all) in one book rather than purchasing four separate books then 'Whispers In The Courtyard' is for you!
(And it makes a great gift for NOLA-lovers too!)
