This is the seventh poetry collection from the poet, E.M. McConnell. Masquerade Me takes you on a journey through masks, roles and ideas. Who are we under the masks? What did we leave behind? Then we step back into myth and idea, with Magic Me, packed with poetry about Druidry, Paganism and the soul. Morph Me then looks at how we have been changed, how love impacts us, and how we as people create sparks, inspiration and longing, as we pass through our lives. Finally, Mellow Me, is poetry about the quiet moments in life, the moments that make us smile, sing, and sigh.
