Reborn

About the Book

"Louise Runyon proves that her body is not the only thing that is lithe and graceful. Her poetry ebbs and flows and takes the reader on an emotional journey from her days as a steel mill worker, a dancer, a mother and beyond. Her words capture a life in motion and a life that continues to evolve. Reborn is a splendid tango of words and thoughts, urging everyone to join the dance."-Collin Kelley, author of Better To Travel

"[Runyon] has a special skill of using words and songs as rhythmical underpinnings to her skillfully modulated movements intensely personal and intensely portrayed."-Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"Runyon reads as if words were dance movements flowing from her open heart."-Art Papers
