Summary:
Project: Heartbeats and Elevation is not a regular book of poetry. It does not only lend new credibility to Spirituality in a unique way, but it also redefines God as the long forsaken beacon of light in a world in need of faith.
Reviews:
“Cendrine Marrouat’s Project: Heartbeats and Elevation is a spiritual journey from one page to the next. As I read, read, and reread each poem in this collection, there were literally moments that I felt as though a divine voice spoke directly to me through her pen offering wisdom, courage, advice and the purest form of love one could offer.
Marrouat uses a variety of poetic forms and styles, with works ranging in length and subject, but always on target with the impact and message one would expect from a master poetess.
Emotionally and spiritually uplifting, Project: Heartbeats and Elevation truly is an elevating experience in words you do not want to miss.”
– Jennifer Hudock, editor of eMuse-zine.
“Cendrine Marrouat is a talented poet. Her verse speaks of wisdom, courage and love. Her style is varied. There is a deep spiritual quality to her art. This tiny book is encouraging, uplifting and delightful.
Marrouat writes for the everyday person. She keeps her art simple and easy to understand. This book would make a great gift.”
“Like any good literary fool (fool because we actually still believe in the transformative powers of good literature), I approached Cendrine Marrouat’s new book of poetry, Project: Heartbeats and Elevation, with caution and reserve. I didn’t know what to expect from a French-Canadian poet, who’d once described her poetry as a blueprint for how she lives her life. Yet, with poems like ‘God’, ‘Birth’, ‘Death’, and ‘Where the Heart Goes’, Marrouat’s mission of love, peace, and harmony is clear and evident.
Beyond the deep spiritual intent of Marrouat’s work there is a political dimension as well. In the book’s introduction, Marrouat addresses the question of whether or not poetry is a fading art form. ‘According to many, poetry is on the verge of extinction, doomed to disappear in the miasma of mediocrity. However, those who condemn this art form do not realize how untrue it is. Poetry is not dying. It cannot die. It will not die.’ With that statement, Marrouat’s “only purpose is to offer my vision of spirituality and God.’ Marrouat’s poems are pacifist and resistant in their attempts to make us believe in the beauty of life and the necessity of love. Major themes in her work are tolerance, spiritual healing, and, of course, God.”
