Maraya’s poems of love and life move back and forth between vulnerable, confident, and tongue-in-cheek doggerel. She invites the reader to unravel the layers of metaphor to discover many meanings. With a warped sense of wit, Maraya pokes at much of what we hold dear—challenging us to expand our consciousness. Then, for the sake of levity, she throws in a poem or two that are straightforward and just plain fun.
