Bittersweet Illusion

by Robin Lee

This is not your English teacher's idea of poetry. I follow no rules when I write; I just bleed out what's on my heart and in my head. From contentment to anger, elation to devastation, ecstasy to agony and all points between, take a walk through the many rooms of my imagination with my words as your guide. Forget your preconceived notions of what poetry is and allow the words to speak to your soul.

The paperback includes exclusive images not available in the e-book.

About the author

Robin Lee is a mild mannered (read: boring) number cruncher by day, a snarky bitch who loves to put pen to paper by night, and a not so sweet Southern Belle from South Carolina who currently resides near Miami, Florida. She's been an avid reader since she first learned how at the age of three, but she only started her writing journey in 2015 when the voices in her head just wouldn't shut up. Poetry is what started it all, but she's now branching out into short stories and novels. Her first book, a collection of poetry entitled Bittersweet Illusion, was released in March 2016.

Robin has captured every emotion that I have ever experienced. From the sudden lost of a loved one, to the resurrection of a life you once lost within myself, to the excitement I feel when a great desire within calls to be acknowledged. Dealing with fickle friends or the the woes of society, Robin has captured the essence of those emotions and put them in words that I find hard to express. I have cried, laughed, panted, and even snapped my fingers to her prose. I can't wait to read more from this wonderful woman!

Robin, you have brought me to tears. I see so much of my life in your writings...I have felt the pain, the love, the sorrow and so much more that it's hard for me to put into words how lovely and beautiful this book is. This will be one of those books that I read over and over again, thank you for opening up and sharing so many deeply personal feelings...you have a tremendous gift, keep on writing! <3

I'll be the first to admit that I am not a fan of poetry but Robin Lee has changed my views. Bittersweet Illusion is amazing, the words she's put in this book are beautiful and I can't wait for everyone to experience her writing. As Robin said"This is not your English teacher's idea of poetry."

So if you are on the fence, give it a try, it's definitely worth it!

Words of...

Words of love words of life words of feeling...yet they aren't just words. Robin in her own way has brought to life in her words the love joy happiness pain sadness fear and regret of LIFE. She has brought the words to life. The feelings so vivid, like they were my own.

This was amazing! I felt every emotion with each poem. A few of them sunk deep into my bones because they expressed exactly how I've been feeling!
Sometimes all you need is a little poetry that help reflects your life. Words that finally resonate with what you thought you couldn't express.

These words are filled with passion and empowerment. Each poem is packed with so many emotions. I was hooked from the beginning and I look forward to more from Robin Lee.
