Rae's Bar & Bistro: A Poetry Collection
November 2011 – A compilation of over fifty poems ranging from scifiku and tanka to sonnets and sestinas, launching into free verse and beyond, these poems explore topics such as life, death, family, friendship and more. Like a late night bar & bistro, there is something here for anyone who is trying to find their way home after a night out looking for themselves.
From the March - April 2012 issue of Small Press Review, under "Soul Food" Angela Consolo Mankiewicz writes: "Olivier’s work often has a deep strain of sadness, of wounds trying to heal; there are also romantic leaps of faith and hope tempered by everyday realities..." (p. 4). Read the rest of the review here.
Available now through Lulu.com, Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
