Metanoia's Revelation

About the Book

Metanoia's Revelation is the author's personal journey of discovery and transformation through poetry, marking various events and stages in her life.

This is a testament of obstacle, loss, survival, hope, renewal, and change. Above all, this book is a deeply embedded reminder that life in itself is a constant mystery.

This collection of poetry embodies evident shifts in style, form, and expression, bringing the reader through the growth and metamorphosis of the author as a person as well as a writer. The design of her poetry is often noted as an art unto itself.

Through the trinity of the physical, spiritual, and intellectual components of human nature, the author strives to reach into the heart of those elements and tantalize the senses through visual, auditory, and kinesthetic blankets of metaphor.

The author revels in evoking and capturing the reader to find themselves within her work as if written directly to or for the individual and speaking from the marrow of their own life experiences.

About the Author

Leila A. Fortier, published in Metanoia's Revelation as Leila A. Marceau, is a writer, artist, poet, and photographer currently residing on the remote island of Okinawa Japan. Her poetry is known to be a unique hybrid form in which her words are specially crafted into visual form and design, often superimposed over her own multi-medium forms of art, photography, and spoken accompaniment, lending to the full bodied expression and intensity of each piece. Her belief in the multi-faceted, rich dimensions of inward and outward exploration is expressed passionately in her work that is profoundly emotional in its reverie for all life’s spiritual and physical experiences. Her work has been published or is forthcoming in The Sage of Consciousness Literary Review, Damazine, Nefarious Ballerina, Visions with Voices, and DOPE Magazine among others. She has appeared in several books, anthologies, and publications including Treasured Poets of America, Satiated Sunrise, and A World of Love: Voices for Carmen.
