About this ebook
Love and Other Disappointments is a self-illustrated book of poetry by author R. D. R. Nevara. It is her first foray into sharing and amply revealing the fearless poetic self-expression of her innermost emotional strata. Her poetry is intensely personal, fiercely honest and tongue-in-cheek. Dark edgy humor is used to celebrate the entire gamut of turbulent, raw emotions. Her poetry is lusty and embraces the universal experiences of change and growth, death and rebirth, love, wonder, compassion, sorrow, pain, joy and gratitude. Her quirky illustrations serve as complements and counterpoints to her poetry. If you are a lover of life, love, tears, laughter, and self-exploration, this book of poetry is one to put on your Must Read list.

Author
R. D. R. Nevara
Boundless creativity has been a life-long love affair for R.D.R. Nevara. Exploring many traditional and non-traditional art forms, her enduring favorites are writing, drawing and Flamenco dancing, and in these she indulges her great passion for life and soulful surrender to the great mystery of it all. Nevara, an educator for many years, has taught, traveled and studied in the bohemian manner of a true “Urban Gypsy”. Her love of travel inspired jumping into other cultures, exploring their lifestyles and ways of creative expression with abandon and confidence. These experiences often influence her writing and art in unexpected ways. Like a feathered serpent who bites her tail, Nevara has returned to her native northern Arizona roots where she currently lives with her two lucky dogs Luna and Vinny.
