Bruised Kisses

Reviews of Bruised Kisses

“Bruised Kisses is the author’s proof of a life lived with courage, reflection and evolving wisdom. With engaging command and candid eloquence she empathizes with the lurking fears and whispered worries of the young, destitute and aspiring. Ms. McDowell invites the reader to revisit their own life and write an epilogue to their greatest pain, one that affirms insistently ‘Yes, even misery has meaning.”’ – Safiya Songhai

“The rhythm of Ms. McDowell’s poetry coupled with the emotional energy makes for beautiful poetry. My favorites are Thank you for the Son and Bruised Kisses. This poetry collection is an outstanding addition to one’s library.” – Susan Gallucci

‘Woman On The Move’ is a powerful poetic melody that rides the mental notes of musical literature…Brilliant and refreshing, her passion for the arts shines, as I look forward to more of her work in the future.
