Empire Amethyst is a journey through themes of light, love, and madness with author Carmen F. Zumot. An abstract autobiography through the lens of poetry, her debut work as a poetess is raw, vulnerable, and mystical. Think of a yin yang symbol come to life. Each word rich with depth dancing from page to page, moments of humor laced with grace, a passionate desire to harmonize the dualities that plague us, will leave you breathless, mesmerized, and captivated. Journey with her on a poetic exploration that will open your eyes, heart, and mind. Her ability to express her emotions in lyrical prose will leave the reader seduced with each beautiful expression.
