sunRay, better known as Ray to her friends, is an 80's baby thrust into the world of poetry by teenage angst. (Yes folks, she's just like you.) But you won't find any of that angst stuff here, only life as she sees it. Simple, beautiful, sometimes hard, but joyous in the end.

To contact Ray about writing poetry or any other general zany stuff, email at: la_pelicana@yahoo.com

One saturday a while back, Ray came over and we recorded her reading all of the poems from this book...

Coffeehouse Shorts 02

long haired

dirty

and beautiful

she pushes broken black frames

onto her nose

and sniffs at painted canvases

someday her visions

will hang from these walls

loose and dark

as her dress
