Iris Orpi

Iris Orpi's third book of compiled poems dwells on the dark, beautiful places, whether physical or mental, where people find love, answers, and themselves. She employs the vivid, irreverent imagery and mesmerizing rhythm that her work is known for. Rampant and Golden is bolder, braver, and darker than past collections, facing head-on such topics as racism, abuse, apostasy, cynicism, corruption, and greed.

Iris Orpi's fourth book of compiled poems captures love, romance, and sensuality rendered in parallel to art forms. Evocative images of impressionist paintings, jazz music, modern dance, street photography, and mosaic are interspersed with raw, honest commentaries about the way we give ourselves to another and the way we create our world centered on the love we receive.
