Wondrous Journey: Poems of Love and Less

By Mabelle Nung Fomundam

Love and Less makes 26 snapshot stops on the road of assumed love. It is a collection of consequential poems that trail fresh love, trek the trench of clasping what is crumbling, and make a ravaging search for a fighting chance at romance. "Love and Less" will never be considered a fairytale for it is what's left behind when the stars, with all their sparkle, burn out.

Her poems "Postscript" and "Beating Walls of Wells" are due to be published (2015) in Bartleby's creative journal, "My Dear Heart" has been published by BCF Lampstand magazine (2014). She's won Enigma Coffee House’s third place prize and Bartleby Poetry Slam’s 2nd place prize (2013) for spoken word.Enchanted by the vibrations of consonant sounds and the resonance of her favorite vowels, MaBelle enjoys translating text into performance.While at UMBC, she has been in the plays Straight Nappy, House of Yes, and Diversity, Disparity and Dialogue (3D). Her performance in 3D got her nominated for the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (2012).
