Summary: My Painted Dreams by Mahvash Mossaed
Review: It is a wonderfully done piece of work. I enjoyed each poem next to the beautiful art work that Mahvash has done. She is truly a gifted artist and poet and writer. I would like more works of hers. THey relaxed my mind and yet gave me something to think about with each poem. I took my time to read each one as they were pleasurable to take the time and give to each poem individually. Great work Mahvash!

Summary: A unique and impressive blend of art and poetry
Review: My Painted Dreams is a unique and impressive blend of art and poetry by Mahvash Mossaed, a female Iranian-American. The monochromatic yet powerful images add power to the simple, fluid free verse of life, death, spiritual essence and the quest to find meaning in life. A profound, evocative, and wondrous book, and a "must" for true devotees of insightful poetry. The Poets: The poets stand in the rain,/They wear no raincoats./They have no umbrellas./They are discussing the shadow of a shadow of a shadow.//But their poetry is already soaking wet--/They have not developed their reality muscles/So they walk with a limp while admiring the color of a vein in a leaf.
