DROOL heaven shine imprinted MARLBORO RED smitten for a sin our love is everyday Christmas do ignite my fancy as embers chase ashes PILGRIMAGE IN NEW ORLEANS my felonies walk in February dusk, towards salvation eyes close as honed cobblestone licks my glittered soul a vigil for martyrs slows the sweat; breath for a crystal pink rosary NIGHTMARE CREED the soft parts |
Eliana Gradishar is originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina and moved to New Orleans, Louisiana at a young age. She is a cultural anthropologist academically and a social worker by profession. Her areas of interest explore cross-cultural spirituality and the plasticity of the human mind. Through poetry, Eliana hopes to create a dialogue of intense emotion and thought. Her poems have been selected for display via a community project called St. Tammany Poetry on the Streets, and she recently participated in the Jane Austen Festival (2017 and 2018) as part of a panel of other selected poets. She attends several writing groups, including Poets Alive, Bayou Writers and Inklings in Mandeville, Louisiana.
