Nandarl from Laredo N. D. Etherly

NanDarl from Laredo is a poignant and paradoxical collection of poems focusing on the various facets and aspects of one woman's life in Laredo, Texas. Obstacles such as prejudice, rape, infidelity, and despair stunt NanDarl's growth both emotionally and spiritually. N. D. Etherly weaves her eclectic and prevailing poems into a new tapestry, intertwining age-old conflicts with new-age perspectives, as she relates the story of an ordinary woman, NanDarl, whose strongest cord is resilience. Morphing Nadine Hernandez from her fantasy fiction, Numbing Nadine, into NanDarl in NanDarl from Laredo, N. D. Etherly parallels her previous fiction with newly-published poetry to create a split persona of an obscure woman grappling with adultery and depression. A powerful collection of unique poems, NanDarl from Laredo, is challenging, captivating, and empowering!
