Rebecca Clark (nrclark@longview.net), a poet!
Reality intimidated
Your writing is brilliant. I felt a grip of fear reading what seemed to be a tortured soul splattered on the pages like blood from a cut, placed with precision of an intelligence unknown. There are many sides to each writing. The first appears insane, dementia chopping at the door. Once entered, you can see a child holding a balance containing love on one side hell on the other. Reading on, you feel a sense of unspeakable pain, incomprehensible to the human mind, indirectly explaining how it was, how it is and will be. I see a Mythical beauty looking through a mirror. Many different images are looking back. The mirror has broken lines distorting the beauty there. Reality intimidated.

Anachronism - A glimpse into personal tragedy
The mark of a truly adept poet is the ability to use language to remove concrete reality from personal experience and yet leave all the emotional shadings with which a reader can identify. Marie Matteucci has accomplished this in her premier book, Anachronism. Unabashedly scathing, Ms. Matteucci uses personal relationships and episodes from her own life to attack such varying subjects as revenge, the futility of life in the face of mortality, vanity and betrayal with an honesty and anger that leaves one feeling as though you are reading her exposed nerves. Almost refreshing in her fearlessness, she also shows no compunction about turning her fractured perspective inward to lay bare her own idiosyncrasies for whoever cares look. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone interested in poetry with the clich but appropriate warning, 'not for the faint of heart.'

Poetry in it's rawest form
What I really appreciate about this writer is that she doesn't hold back. That is important to me. I've read this book three times now and each time I find something new to love about it.

MUST READ
If you are a poetry lover, this book should be added to your cart immediately. Even if you don't read much poetry, I still recommend it. Anachronism will open you up to the world of poetry and it doesn't let go.
