A Place Called Return

About the Book

Sienna Elizabeth Raimonde, will arrest your attention with her poetry. While she has been writing since childhood, this is her first published book. Poetry, she says, runs in her blood. Also, her two grandmothers were poets, and “The Poet of the Adirondacks” was her great+ grandfather. Raimonde, while a keen observer of both human nature and nature in general, speaks the language of her times through symbolism, metaphor, and simile. She composes her poetry with a unique blend of sobriety, humor, and mystery, juxtaposed with a philosophical twist that is both distinctive and unique. This is a book for everyone.

About the Author

Raimonde comes from a family of artists including her grandmother, Maude Kelly, who sold paintings regionally. She also comes from a rich background of poets, one being Cornelius Carter who was called "Poet of the Adirondacks.” Both of her grandmothers also wrote poetry and Raimonde herself is a published poet. Not only is Sienna Raimonde talented in the arts, but she also has a B.S. degree in Human Development and a M.A. in Biblical Counseling. Paradoxically, her past consists of: mental breakdowns, various physical problems, numerous blessings too--and this journey constitutes A Place Called Return.
