The Red Window
a book of poems by Marianne Aweagon Broyles
Marianne Aweagon Broyles is a mental
health worker who has learned to take complex people and situations and
convey empathy and understanding of them in a very few poetic words.
This talent lets her explore
emotions, convictions and tribulations so convincingly that the reader
"feels it" in a very few minutes. Her words give you cause to stop and
reflect what the subjects of her poems must have felt. She talks of her
Native American heritage, what it is like to be an outcast due to mental
illness, the plight of our diminishing natural world.There is strength and clarity in her
words.
Marianne grew up in Boston and Boothbay
Harbor, Maine and in Tennessee. She is an enrolled member of the
Cherokee Nation and a graduate of Emory University. She works as a
psychiatric nurse in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Red Window is her
first book, and is a very impressive work. It is one of those books
where the words will come back to you often.
We interviewed Marianne on our
online radio show, Champagne Sundays, on October 12, 2008. To hear the entire,

Our Mission: "Big Blend Magazine is a company based on the belief that education is the most formidable weapon that can be waged against fear, ignorance and prejudice.
It is our belief that education starts at
home and branches outward. Education leads to travel, and
travel leads to understanding, tolerance, and appreciation
of cultures and customs different to our own, and ultimately
to world peace. Our company is further based on the
principle that networking, communication, and helping others
to promote and market themselves leads to financial
stability; thus paving the way to better education, travel,
and the spirit of giving back to the community."
