Bøker av Sandi Duverneuil

Duverneuil's debut collection of poems intricately weaves together the allure of French and Japanese influences with the cultural tapestry of her upbringing. Dragonfly Dances is a reflection on life's joys & sorrows as experienced and observed by Sandi Duverneuil. The collection is organized by themes: Family, Seasons, Memories, Society, Dépaysement, La Nature & Les Sens, Sociéte, and Souvenirs. It starts in English then flows into French, reflecting Duverneuil's relocation to Nice, France. Childhood memories of growing up in "The Hamptons" (Southampton, NY) are juxtaposed with fragments from her cultural adjustment in Japan and France. Somber at times, her New York sense of humor manages to sneak its way into her poetry and lighten the mood.
