REVIEWS

JF:  “I’m “deeply” moved by your disclosure and your willingness to share your experience and your Self. The art is really speaking to me too…”

GR:  “Maria, …the deep dive into yourself is truly awe inspiring. I’m really taking my time to absorb it page by page – it isn’t something to “read.” You draw me in so I can feel your words and be with the woman you were, while holding the position of a woman looking back with understanding and love. I can’t imagine the journey you took to get this all out, it is a missive for healing for sure. I think you have a masterpiece!”

…

You’ve transformed, documented and lit the way for others to follow. The transformation is the point and what a beautiful way to live now! You will never know your full impact, not all the way at least. You’ve found your calling! So grateful for you.”

JB:   Just starting your book …it is riveting. I will email again!

PK:   "Maria's Song" is a beautiful, profound and tender merging of the arts: I am/Eye… Yes, "the way out is the way in." Love that….”

PM: “I got home at seven started reading at 7:30 and have not been able to put the book down. I am already  on page 165. I have no words. It is the most beautiful and tragic thing I have ever read. Your courage to publish this, and to share your soul with other humans is …divine? I don’t even have the word. I can’t say enough. The art, the writing, the sincerity and soulfulness…It’s just perfect.  I couldn’t even wait to tell you in person because I’m overflowing with emotion.”

TT:  “Loved it – got emotional – liked the art – I am a visual person.”

LB: “Book is wonderful.”

HL: “Powerful and compelling.”

REVIEWS FROM READERS ON AMAZON:

Valerie: “I was so moved by this book, written and illustrated by Toronto-based author and artist Maria Tzanis. Maria’s Song is a powerful and stunning memoir in the form of poems and images It is vulnerable and dark, yet also full of hope as the author intuitively pursued self-expression and healing from sexual trauma. This is an important book for healtchcare practitioners, art therapists, and anyone who wants to understand the emotional toll of psychological manipulation and sexual abuse.”

Warden203: “A powerful read. This is a beautiful expose of the author’s soul. Reading it meant so much to me. Thank you for sharing, Maria.”
