The experience of poetry and prose: Maroon Daydreams
“ “This was an absolutely stunning collection of poems. The way Raine describes both hurt and healing is so haunting and real; beautiful and tragic in the most relatable way. This is a true work of art that will touch you and stay on your mind for many days after reading.”
- Ida-Sofia, founder of Evil Queen
“Raine is incredibly talented at crafting powerful poems with tenderness. Her thoughts on the recovery process will empower you to heal in whatever way is best for you. This collection will make you think, leave you breathless, bring tears to your eyes and then put a smile on your face.”
— Shelby Leigh, author of changing with the tides
“Like the smell of burning sage in the morning, Cheyenne's words find a way to heal parts of you only good medicine can reach.”
— Robert Harold Bordeaux, Sicangu Lakota, author and activist
“Maroon Daydreams is a battle cry. These poems are an expression of longing; a desire to be held and to hold. Cheyenne dives into the depths of humanity in its darkest moments; asking questions such as ‘When you're alone—what does it feel like?’ ”
— William Bortz, author of THE GRIEF WE'RE GIVEN
This is for my hurt and your healing.
This is something tender for us both.
Maroon Daydreams is more than a backward walk through memory and more than a sun-soaked vision for what could be: it is a manifesto to the chaos life unravels, a love letter for a healing journey—moment by moment. The hurt and the hope. Cheyenne Raine invites us into this unfolding.
