My name is Heather Mirassou and I come from America’s Oldest Winemaking Family, I have been writing poetry since I was twelve years old. My favorite poet at the time was Leo Buscaglia, who writes about love. I sent him a letter and a few of my poems and he wrote back rewarding me with a signed book of poetry and an inspirational letter. He said I was a NATURAL POET and I should continue writing poetry and learn and practice as much as I could. I will always remember his influence on my writing and my will to follow in his footsteps. The symbolic interpretation of my last name, Mirassou is: > Mirror of the soul >One who reflects within >The watcher of light >A woman who sees truth beneath the surface

1985 Love Affair – by Heather Mirassou


Salt sweat from the neck of someone
I loved too hard.
Spiced cigarettes, lust and
the slow summer
we forever made 
before our last goodbye.

Gasoline on denim
the aftertaste of rebellion.
When we rode fast into
nowhere laughing like
gods who forgot they
could die.

Lilac after rain.
The perfume of forgiveness
a soft, clean lace
rising with my body like
a memory turned gentle.
The slow rot of goodbye.
