Maryline Roux

Velvet Thunder tentative book cover

Maryline has been writing poems over the years. She believes that poetry is an art to not lose; writing words together and creating stanzas feels close to performing a dance that each reader can interpret differently, similarly to admiring paintings.

The pandemic has been a time of self-introspection and allowed her to dig deep into her soul.
