Even though palm to forehead
is the only way our pores
migrate into one another, my entire
body becomes an extension of
this practice. He becomes
my guru, where I lay limp,
hypnotized with this change,
feel the evolution of my cells separate
with his pull. I am in his hands.
~ Excerpt from Plucking the Brow
“During, between and around each line of lusciousness, I found myself wanting another poem, and wanting to be in the scenes myself. What a gorgeous tribute to intimacy and love.”
~ Laura Di Franco, Brave Healer and author or Warrior Love, a Journal to Inspire Your Fiercely Alive Whole Self
“Dorathina’s visual depiction of a strong yet delicate female mind compliments Sand’s effortless words. Each page is filled with a thoughtful sort of beauty — pulling readers in as they unravel the heart of each poem.”
~Artemia Perez, local fine arts enthusiast
“Close To The Bone is a thought-provoking literary mixture of introspection of the thoughts, and reminiscing upon the life, of its author Erica Sand… Her ever-present feminine grace is at times a subtle whisper, yet other times a passionate moan, but frequently yearning to fill and to be fulfilled.”
~ Rick S. Agustin
