“Laura Mercurio Ebohon is a poet of talent and originality. Her new Italian/English publication ‘Se guardo dentro’ – ‘If I look inside’ is written with an emotional abandon, breadth of personal experience, and genuineness one seldom encounters in a ‘newly published’ poet. Between the most ephemeral lines is a rock-hard knowledge of both the joy and pain of life lived wholeheartedly. Ms. Mercurio writes with the brakes off, navigating skillfully between the domestic, the emphemeral and the profound. Quite a ride! Someone to watch.”
