Merrill Guillory’s writing is a keen and vivid reflection of the past, nostalgic and surreal in its content and surprisingly swoon-worthy. He is a strikingly strong wordsmith projecting depth and intellectual brilliance. This work is truly a “must-read!” ~ Dorothy Sells Clover, Author of Cornucopia, A Book of Poetry, Epiphany, and We with Wings
Merrill Guillory is a timeless romantic poet. His eloquent words resonant with the hearts of those in love, seeking love, as well as those who have given up on falling in love. The passionate undertones of his writing tough on the mystique and charm of the centuries-long past. Desires of being held and loved become real. His writing makes one feel tingly and fulfilled, Also, Merrill adds a Creole French Flair. Mulatto love and possible forbidden or impossible relationships have been sprinkled among many of his pieces. They transcend yesteryear, today, and tomorrow. The romance present in all his work bubbles over and makes the reader interpret it all to be about themselves…I challenge you to pick up this title, as well as his other beautiful works. Merrill Guillory est un poete creole de l’amour! ~ Monica Lynn Thibodeaux- Educator
Merrill Guillory is a voice for our turbulent times. We are called upon to reassess our inner thoughts and to check our moral compass through his thought-provoking poetry and prose. Even in this modern age of multi-ethnicities, genders religion, and education, Merrill reveals the continuing separatist ideology that is still pervasive in American society. He is able to pivot from that moral compass and reveal a deeply side towards nature, family, and human love. The pages of his book are imaginary, filled with a genre of themes that the reader will surely relish. ~ Lin Travis- Retired University Educator
