Tara Lynne Groth is a freelance writer based out of North Carolina, and no, she does not own a black turtleneck. She holds a B.A. in cultural studies from Stony Brook University and received a scholarship in 2009 to attend the Southampton Writers Conference. It was her lifelong dream to visit Paris, France and in May 2010 that dream was realized. From watching a bum sipping Perrier to questioning the whereabouts of Venus de Milo's arms and hands, the poems are meant to probe and capture pieces of Paris' energy. This book is a result of her travels and 4+ hour cafe visits.
