​Washington’s book of poetry zeros in on the unique challenges
​women face in our modern world,
​and does it with unwavering strength.

​Romaine Washington's poetry pulls readers into her work with passion and determination as she draws on nature to illustrate her themes. Once we are in, we do not want to leave her poetic realm.
​ - Dr. Beverly Head, author of Walking North
Washington's words evoke images that will linger in our minds long after the reading is done. Her poems are defibrillators of the soul - resuscitating our hearts to a world yearning for freedom. 
​-Ewuare S. Osayande, Editor Stand Our Ground: Poems for Trayvon Martin and Marissa Alexander
Like] Lucile Clifton… Romaine’s lyrical voice unmasks the hard truths of our human condition, particularly the oppression of women, through her unique use of diction, syntax, and extraordinary imagery, which engages the intellect and speaks to the souls of her readers
– Dr. Catherine Humphrey, IAWP UCR Fellow

Like an ocean's shifting water, Romaine's poetry gently laps at your psyche before bursting into strong waves...
Her stylishly clever way with words, rich in imagery, transforms common life settings into unique scenarios ​that promise to never fade.
