My name is Cendrine Marrouat and I was born in Toulouse, France. I now live in Canada.
University provided me with a fertile ground for writing. I was exposed to the literary works of some of the greatest English-speaking figures of history: William Shakespeare, Elizabeth Bishop, Jane Austen, William Wordsworth, Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson... They have left an indelible impression on me and helped me broaden my mind.
Poetry was my first excursion in the literary world. It became a passion very quickly, and helped me express the inner core of my being. This unflinching passion bore fruit in 2006, when I self-pusblished three collections of poetry:
- "And They All Rejoiced! Soul-Stirring Poetry" (ISBN 0978112709);
- "Short Poetry for Those Who Fear Death" (ISBN 0978112717); and
- "Sortons des chemins battus. Poésie de l'âme" (ISBN 0978112725).
These books are available for purchase through this website.
Last year, I started dabbling with playwriting and short stories, which furthered my journey into self-discovery. As a result, two plays emerged, entitled: "In the Silence of Words" and "Sound in Mind and Body". They are also available on this website for your reading pleasure. Your feedback is greatly welcome!
I am a fervent believer in God, and my writing offers a mixture of Spirituality and Christianity. In that sense, my biggest influences are Khalil Gibran, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Alphonse de Lamartine. However, I also draw inspiration from my own experience of Life as a human being with flaws and issues. Hence, my body of work does not only deal with abstract ideas; it also deals with everyday problems, such as love and pain.
Cendrine...thank you so much for being a spark for my fire. I would like to share a thank you, gift. I look forward to hearing from you in the future...take care

To this there will be praises--
the epiphany of porcelain--
the decorum of Lace.
Savor this beauty revered in fables,
reserved for the dignity of Eve.
Oh, the pristine patience of skin,
the indigenous complaint of moon, stars--
Venus weeping.
