For my husband Catalin Micsa and our sweet children Alex and Sophia, as well as my father Danut Gramatic, who was a great poet with a unique sensibility to the world around him. And last, but not least, a special dedication to my wonderful friend Deirdre Fitzpatrick, KCRA news morning anchor and the host of my favorite podcast Dying to Ask, who inspired me to start writing on Medium, where I published many poems and short form pieces collected here in this book together with some new writing.

Reviews for Morsels of Love, A Book of Poetry and Short form

[Biswa Jit · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

?Morsels of Love?

Poetry is an interesting genre because one can interpret the words in more than one way. Poems are charming to read and also help one understand the perspective of the author.Morsels of Love is a book of verse and short-structure loaded with satisfaction, giggling, insight, and cautious perception of our general surroundings. Perusing this book will make you grin, consider, and develop your longing to carry on with existence with adoration and appreciation. Every sonnet and short-structure is joined by pictures as updates that regardless of where we are in our lives we want whatever number 'pieces of affection' as could reasonably be expected to adapt, flourish, and develop during and after these agitating and incredible pandemic years. Profoundly inventive and innovative, this delightfully composed book will please and move, regardless of whether you read everything simultaneously, or relish separate lovely pieces at your relaxation,when I checked this book, I just couldn't resist myself from reading it. It's definitely one of those diversified poetry books which gets the readers right from the very first page.

The poetry is captivating, I loved the main characters, and I wasn't pulled out of the story.The story pulled me in from the AMAZING first chapter and kept my interest throughout.I couldn't put it down, and I finished it in one sitting!

I personally loved reading this book. One of a kind and I enjoyed reading it If you want to know grab your copy and start reading.This book is definitely worth the purchase and worth the read.
