Above and Below the Waterline, as you might expect, takes the reader on a river journey. What you don’t expect, after you set down the book, is the phantom sensation, the swell and dip. Body memory still responding. It’s your life river she has evoked too.  

Rae Crossman, performance poet.


Above and Below The Waterline reads like a scrapbook of memories locked inside Pandora’s box. These are poems of searing honesty and of deep consequence which weave poignant stories that transcend mere narrative.

Chris Banks, poet and author of The Cold Panes of Surfaces

Marianne Paul understands the poetic place of juxtaposition— happy nestling next to sad; the celebratory touching the grave (sometimes literally); the funny, odd abundances of ordinary life and how they become the love and stuff of poems. 

Elana Wolff, poet and author of You Speak to Me in Trees


A polished poet, Marianne Paul flows from funny animal poems to emotional family meditations on loss, from conversational language to artistic metaphors that are readily embraced by our memories.

Bernice Lever, poet and author of Generation
