Alias “The Rose” is a 23-year collection of eclectic poetry by Laura Porras. She draws on life experience and the people around her in various ways, playing with words as she goes. Laura allows us to use all five senses while enjoying her work. She wants everyone to know that they too have a voice and that silence in any form only brings about disregard in every form. In her title piece, “Alias ‘The Rose’ “, Laura describes in essence coming out of her shell and having her voice finally heard. She drew on the support of those around her and was able to talk about the secrets that were holding her back emotionally. Once she opened up, like a rose in full bloom, she was able to “let her petals fall” in a literary sense and expand on her life, letting it take her where it may. Finally coming full circle as an adult, she was able to make life a “learning and growing” experience rather than a daily struggle. All of her work incorporates this idea and challenges us to look at life through her eyes for a while. Laura lives with her husband and children in Yelm, Washington.

Charming & Intriguing,
By poetressflame (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alias "The Rose": Though the petal may fall.....She shall never be forgotten (Paperback)
From beginning to end Alias The Rose is enlightening, charming, and makes the reader feel and see things in a fresh new light. This collection of poetry has strong images that enter you into another world, a world of strength and beauty. Author Laura M. Porras has outdone herself by sharing the ups and downs of life and even through the downside she is able to see hope, find faith, and promote strength to others regardless of what their lives may be filled with. All of the poems she shares are prolific and smart on a literary level and I have strong confidence that this author will accomplish whatever she sets her mind to. Read Alias The Rose and experience a heartwarming book of poetry that will empower any reader. I highly recommend this book!
