Synopsis "Lilies & Lace & Dark Pretty Things: Poetry From the Heart (in English)"
Melody Lee writes intimately and passionately on subjects close to her heart: love, loss, nature, optimism, being human, and she does it poignantly with her trademark warrior spirit. Lee assures her readers it is absolutely okay to be different, to be yourself, to stand out, to not fall into the crowd mentality, because that's the essence of freedom and how one shines. You feel the fire in Lee's words and her sensitive, compassionate spirit as revealed through her poetry, writing for the dreamers, the free spirits, and the romantic eccentrics in all of us, indulging in the voice of her soul. She is an intuitive, an alchemist, her inspiration resonates with both the feminine and masculine parts of us. She brings her experiences into magical poems, painting ethereal pictures of love, nature, and beauty, as she opens more of her soul to the world. Lee doesn't shy away from expressing the dark side of human nature. Lilies & Lace & Dark Pretty Things brings comfort in a world that could use more imagination, love, kindness, and compassion. You feel this in every poem Lee writes. The free spirited, romantic, moon child. The eternal optimist. The effervescent butterfly. Melody Lee is known for melding mystery and beauty to create poetry that calls out to the wild within us. In Lilies & Lace & Dark Pretty Things, Melody combines the mystic energy of Moon Gypsy with the dark magic of Season of the Sorceress. The result is a powerful collection with pieces that speaks to the heart of every reader. ~Ashley Jane, author of Love, Lies and Lullabies Melody's writing sizzles with a voice that is not afraid to show us how and why we still passionately pursue love. ~Alfa, author of I Find You in the Darkness It wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination to call Melody Lee an enchantress.
