Marinarena is an observational poet, who’s a tad bit on the mysterious side, positive-minded,  down-to-earth, curious, and absolutely one who looks forward what life will reveal to her. She is an American writer with roots along the East Coast, from Virginia to the Carolinas and Florida. Her coming-of-age story flourished mainly in California. However, her heart and soul has drifted throughout America and to all over the world, of which she plans to see more.

Writing has been a way to let out her rampant inner thoughts. It has become a best friend to whom to turn for understanding and healing. Particularly, it is poetry that is a muse for her.  Her poetic pieces are mainly freeform and are of a confessional style, with a strong admiration for metaphor, irony and wit. Marinarena often touches upon triumphs and tribulations of human relationships, nostalgia, societal ills, journeys and well, random stuff that happens to run in the mind. Commonly, her writing approach is to recognize but expand on poetry’s conventions, such as the haiku. As for her goals as a writer, she strives to connect with her readers, not leaving one to think, “what’s the point here?” or “what the world is she trying to say?
