My Dear, Love Hasn't Forgotten You

Now Available, Carolyn Riker's third full-length book of poetry & prose:


My Dear, Love Hasn't Forgotten You, is a full-length book of poetry and prose. This poetry book invites you to dream. There are four sections that melt into each other with ease. Carolyn's poetry is not ordinary and rarely follows the rules; instead, she becomes a stream of consciousness. "When we are river-like we flow. Nature connects us and grounds us with a love that will never forget us." In addition to those sentiments, Carolyn doesn't hold back with emotions. She wears them on her sleeve and dreams with them and you will become a part of this mystical mystery. My Dear, Love Hasn't Forgotten You, is full, real, kind, deep, spiritual, caring and poetic. You will find yourself tantalized and hopefully it'll spark your own imagination's creative juices.

Amazon Reviews

"Riker has always been a powerful and talented writer and poet, but in her latest volume of poems and musings, she has gone deeper into the human soul than ever. She has an incredible talent to see an entire poem in the edge of a leaf or the reflection in a rain drop. Her words carry you along with her sweeping imagination and soulful storytelling. She speaks to that part of you that seldom gets noticed, but is so needful for recognition and comfort. She is a true artist in every sense of the word and this book will only go towards cementing her place as a vital voice in our culture. An amazing effort."  ~ Mitch Smith 
"Fantastic book of poems!" ~ Donna M. Day
"Carolyn weaves words in such a way that leave me breathless. Her intricacies of genuine imagery are above and beyond. I've never known a poet who's as exceptionally real as Carolyn. Her persona shines with every verse throughout these pages. She's one of a kind, no doubt about it. And I celebrate her, as much as I celebrate her work. This book needs to be on nightstands, for it gives of her soul and allows dreams to happen." ~ Gerry Ellen
"This book is filled with beautiful poetry and prose that is coming straight from the heart. You can read the pages again and again, yet connect with a new and deeper feeling each and every time. Brilliant!" ~ Pamela M.

A favorite poem from the book:

Glass Bell

" Every snowflake
is a glass bell
pressing my heart
to hear the soul of the earth
and I can't help but to weep
for it's beauty has the profundity
of angels as they speak".

"My dear, Love has not forgotten you' is a perfect blend of poetry and prose. I've enjoyed this book so much, I urge everyone to read it. Last night, I had to make myself put it down. Compulsive reading and blissful indulgence." ~ Moyra Irving, Amazon UK
