Reflections of My Smiles

I really loved this book of poems by Marie Ary. I found a lot of comfort in the poems and found myself reaching for the book to just read a poem here or there when I needed to just breathe and reflect for a moment. There are spiritual as well as deeply personal and emotional reflections from the poet on life, and in every poem there’s a powerful universal quality.    -Amazon Review
