    About this ebook

    In the Shadows of Eden is a lyrical collection of poetry that evokes emotion and reminds us that we as humans all sin and yet are still able to find a common beauty in lifes experiences through spiritual growth. Jana Alibrandi captivates our attention and souls with her heartfelt and beautiful verse. From the title poem, Fallen Petals in the Shadows of Eden, to Candy Eyes Dont Lie, her poetry has been called insightful and edgy, while it describes a life of both sin and spiritual bliss.

    Her poetry relates to human experiences, and through them we are strengthened. She believes that we are all sinners in the shadows of Eden, as we come to an understanding of spiritual growth that blossoms with integrity.

    Fallen Petals in the Shadows of Eden

    The walls decay in a bloody cave
    Love for a century is countless in days
    Lies feel longer than an eternity
    Does the term loyalty apply?
    Why, when all I do is share
    The petal of deceit
    This broken chair has had its last sway
    This wooden shamble is not mine
