Venus Freezing is a rhythmic, tangoing of words a lyrical anomaly of verse and hard-hitting imagery. The books title was inspired by the captivating ink and oil called Sine Cerere et Libero friget Venus (Without Ceres and Bacchus, Venus Would Freeze, c. 1600 - 1603), which was created by the Dutch graphic artist and painter Hendrick Goltzius, c. 1558 - 1617. Much like in her initial collection, Bagging the Phoenix, the author writes from the perspective of rebirth. The author began writing the selections immediately after publishing her first collection. Venus Freezing comprises Congelata, Sanguine, Opera, and Intuito four distinctive chapters that accompany a cautious, malleable heart through evident processes of growth. The brand new prose in Venus Freezing melds blunt-force candor with facetious humor to create a quick-witted read. Her interpretive verbiage continues to challenge the emotional psyche. Venus Freezing also provides a glimpse into the creative eye of the artist with thematic, illustrative elements throughout. The book features the authors black and white, film-based photography.

Bagging the Phoenix

By: Gina L. Monari

Bagging the Phoenix explores the nature of human emotion and the freedom and chains of the non-denominational human soul. The title is a metaphor for the "hunting" and "trapping" associated with the failures and successes of personal evolution and growth. The collection-15 years in the making-gracefully marries bittersweet aspects of life and death, love and tragedy, as well as the higher self. The poetic verse in Bagging the Phoenix explores an odyssey that began with the harsh winters of adolescence, culminating in a wiser view of the world. Gentle sarcasm lightens densely provocative issues without abandoning the themes of love, loss and transcendence. The collection was written existentially and intuitively about this world and beyond. "The themes in Bagging the Phoenix are universally relatable, despite how personal the topics are," said Author Gina Monari. "Some days writing felt much like falling down an endless flight of wooden stairs, and others the nostalgia of revisiting the themes coddled me in a blanket of euphoria. I want readers to feel all of this when immersed in any of my verse, and appreciate the balance of pleasure and pain. Their synonymous existence is what this is about.
