"The Poet Who Watched The Whole Parade" is a memoir written as though it was a fictional adventure tale. The stories explode with laughs, cries, family, friends, pimps and the occasional psychological diagnosis yet the moral still emerges boldly, love wins.
My debut novel, "The Poet Who Watched The Whole Parade" is a autobiography in the bildungsroman style. It is a coming of age story with "director's commentary" written between each chapter. I wanted to make something that was so transparent that everyone could see a lil bit of themselves in it.
Excerpt
"The entirety of all of our stories, overlapping, intertwining, intervening, colliding, and melding comprises what we can only muster really little words to describe. Life. God. Truth. Is. Be. One. More than one syllable means that you have put too much human-borne thought into it. Sometimes I wish everyone’s life had an accompanying autobiography. Or that all our lives could be biographied together. Maybe there is a work of such art. They say “it was written”, maybe it all is. Somewhere." - Excerpt from the Chapter, "Looking At Life".

I couldn't put it down. Behind the pen you get a sense of a journey of someone strong, and of true faith, who is continuing to understand their purpose.
This book is a collection of short stories that depict events in Author's life while she lived in Romania, then in Greece, and last in America. It's a beautiful and very sincere account of a young woman's life and comming to age.
