Reviews
“On rare occasions a poetry collection comes along that is so totally reflective and enlightening that, when you reluctantly arrive at the end, your first inclination is to simply start again at the beginning. Not only is Wonder such a collection but it is an invitation to sit close and listen even more closely as Nicole Pollifrone deftly uses few words to express raw emotion.”
~ Lois Glenn, Reviewer

“Some of the poems are very sweet and uplifting, others reflect the harsh realities of life. I think my favorite is ‘Should’ve.’ Its final line says it all: ‘I should’ve danced.’ Nicole celebrates life in all its variety, in its beauty and its ugliness, in its starkness, in its mystery. And in many ways she echoes the way I feel, the way I think, the way I react. In all, she has mirrored my soul back to me, and I have learned to know myself better. Thanks.”

Synopsis:
Dedication: To the women of the world who are unknowing of their worth or potential – I hope that one day you see… the power is within you. Battle on ladies… battle on…

To the resilient, powerful...and beautiful women who have impacted me throughout my life...my grandmothers, my parents, sister, my El...my friends and teachers. You have made me a better human being – for having known you.

Whisper
Whisper to me…
whisper your desires…
your passions…
your fears…
whisper your dreams…
softly into my ears.
Tell me how to make you feel…
talk to me about what’s real.

Whisper to me…
as I touch you deep inside…
as I push my way through…
to where your soul may hide.

Whisper to me as we soar…
of sensual ways to unlock your door.
tell me that it’s meant to be…
whisper where to find the key.
