This is truly an inspirational and motivational book based on the author's life. This book embodies "life as poetry." I am especially touched by the poems about Sandi's family.
And how amazing that Sandi is fluent in both English and French and so the book has the poems in both languages.
Be inspired and touched by all the creativity flowing from Dragonfly Dances.

In the preface to DRAGONFLY DANCES: Poetic Musings on Life, poet Sandi Duverneuil writes about wanting to share her “authentic duality,” and that becomes the keystone of the whole work. The first half comprises English poems, and the second half is in French—drawing a literal line through the different aspects of Duverneuil’s life.
Duverneuil is also not shy about how personal the collection is, influenced by her time spent living in New York, France, and Japan, as well as the loss of those she loves.
The death of her mother plays a major part in the construction of several poems, and when she writes “Mom, please help me deal with this,” the reader feels like maybe they’ve overheard a personal conversation they shouldn’t have.
The vulnerability that Duverneuil puts on display is commendable, as it makes the whole collection shine with sincerity.
