My name is Rue Mohanahan.. I've always known I was different, but I didn't know to what degree of different I was until the day that monster attacked me all those years ago. I escaped with my life . . . barely. For fifteen years the Dark one has pursued me. I've evaded him all this time by never settling down . . . until now. All those years on the run, I was always alone. Now I'm surrounded by the paranormal - wolves, witches, and monsters that dwell deep in the dark. I've met my alpha wolf mate, Michael, and it's hard to get close. I still live with the things the Dark one did to me. How can I open myself up to the possibility of a never-ending love and a happily ever after when I can see the Dark coming? It's hard to imagine finally living my life when I was born to fight a war I might not survive. The universe has a cruel sense of humor that I've never appreciated, especially now that I stand to lose everything I've ever wanted or will ever love.

Poetry is saying, “Here I am universe. Take me as I am. I hope you ...

"Beneath the obvious beauty of Lisa Dordal's poetry lies a subtle ferocity that threatens to undo the reader on every page of WATER LESSONS. 'Anyone can become / animal or a flicker of light' warns the speaker as she embarks on a journey of recovery: of the memories surrounding a mother's addiction and death; of a father's dementia, which softens him even as it steals him away; and of the speaker's own complicity in mid-century suburban oblivion, a complicity that makes both a mother's and a Black maid's miseries equally tragic. Dordal demands that we not only see the past, but that we step into its deceptively gentle tide, one that sweeps us back to the people, places, and eras that still h...
