Excerpt
West Coast Kiss
It rang in my heart
I felt the earth quake
Saw Venice Beach on a Thursday
Santa Monica's sand shimmered all over my legs
It's you I ask to color me with your mudslide
This is the only way way you'll appreciate this California sun
Surf your hips on me and hear my Woodland Hills speak
With the Santa Ana wind humming your name
After all, you invited it in to pinch me in the heart
My skin is tanned with your Santa Barbara glow
I didn't know I could be this beautiful in your traffic eyes
West coast lips offering me your Jamba juice
My chocolate shake laugh came from the drums of your fingers in my pores
And the liquorish kiss you penciled in gives me reason to race with the wind

As awe-inspiring are the moments she revels in her own beauty, her native Haiti and the people she has loved. "Wrapping Thoughts" are intimate when needed and fiery enough to shelter both the writer and her readers.

I read this a good number of times. The first time, I had a pulse jump at the sensual strokes you provide. The second time, exquisite imaginings. The other times, cuckoo doodle!! I love your expansive metaphorical thesaurus.
Stephen Bess
In her poetry beats the heart of a very passionate and sensitive human being. She has a wonderful way of getting her point across that is so appetizing and pleasing to the senses. My copy arrived just before Christmas so it was and early gift to myself. I saw Professor Sonia Sanchez speak recently and she stated that we needed more poetry about love and feelings. I hope that she gets to read Cathy's work. It will make her smile. It definitely made me smile.
