Poems

by Nora May French

Nora May French's posthumously published collection of poems, "Poems by Nora May French," offers a poignant glimpse into the mind of a talented but troubled young woman. French, a member of the bohemian literary circles of the Carmel Arts and Crafts Club, grappled with heartbreak, social pressures, and a longing to live a creative life. Her poems, often set against the backdrop of the serene coastal landscape, reveal a complex and introspective spirit. While some celebrate the beauty of nature, others explore darker themes of loss, disappointment, and the struggle to find one's place in the world.
