Endless : A Literate Passion

Anne Tammel's Endless: A Literate Passion explores the lush literary spirit of iconic legends and landscapes in a dramatic artistry of verse, featuring imaginative poems on the lives and relationships of Anais Nin & Henry Miller, Zelda & F. Scott Fitzgerald, Amelia Earhart & Fred Noonan, Anne Morrow & Charles Lindbergh, Jack Kerouac & the Beat Generation, and Marilyn Monroe... "ENDLESS is sensual, spiritual, exotic, human...a work of profound, enduring beauty...These are the seven days of creation, and as the poet herself remarks, the 'red silk journals are covered in sweat.'"~Kevin McGrath, Harvard University "Anne Tammel's gorgeous collection reads like a love letter, not only to the iconic authors and adventurers whose personas she authentically inhabits, but as an epistle to her own love of life. I feel as if I'm inside a museum of daring sculptures, a Grecian sun glinting off the bone white marble. The collection - voluptuous. Its rhythms searching, sensual, and authentic like a wife-an insatiable wife...a lover of silk...and words...and your breath, finding the authentic voice within the poet's internal theater. I slipped easily into these literary shoes to stride confidently across the stage."~Lois P. Jones, Kyoto Poetry Journal "Moving page by page through the red silk journals of the heart, Anne Tammel takes the reader on a journey through a historical and literary landscape so vibrant, so vividly and generously splashed with color and love that it could only be explored through poetry. Here is a woman, who, much like the great artists about whom she writes, not only looks at the world with extraordinary, resplendent vision, but who has the courage and talent to offer that vision beautifully to the world." ~Melissa Studdard, I Ate the Cosmos for Breakfast "Lovely, lovely! A most impressive, artistic collection that definitely will be enjoyed by all and everyone..."~Anders Dahlgren, Mediterranean Poetry
