POETRY’S PORTALS by MARIA FIGUEREDO 

Reviewed by Shubhaangi Kundalkar

Masterfully woven strokes on nature and places, with an artistic flavor of pictures.  Her description of London is so vivid while her poem on YES stimulates the  mind. Looks like her bleeding PEN talks all about life.  Every word in her poetry appears as an alphabetical dance. An intense imaginative power in these poems draws its sustenance from the poet dreaming great dreams.
