Description
"These poems enter (sometimes gently, sometimes brutally), the quiet sanctuary of fiction we live in daily but choose to ignore. Miriam's keen observation of the fictions takes us on a journey to understanding the complexities of self and day-to-day survival in this irrational world created by the human mind." - EJ Antonio "Driving the Celexa offers an empathic mix of poems with the overarching theme of surviving with one's sanity intact. Miriam Stanley is at her best when she's closely observing the daily routines of her fellow New Yorkers. Her work gives us a glimpse of the future while understanding one can't escape the baleful grip of history: Lessons well worth remembering in these perilous times. Read these poems with an open heart, you will be rewarded." - Danny Shot "Miriam Stanley's work evokes truth. We live in a society where the basic fundamentals is to tell the truth. If you are interested in the truth read this work. Miriam is rhythmic and lyrical but not overbearing." - Robert Gibbons
