    Alyssa R. Rondeau

    Born and raised in New England, Alyssa has always been an avid writer from as early as grade school. She has a particular love for poetry but enjoys writing fiction as well. When she became a mother in 2023, she discovered a whole new world of inspiration for her writing. She is a strong advocate for self-love, spending time at the ocean, and eating copious amounts of pasta. The happiest you'll find her is anywhere her family is. She resides in New Hampshire with her husband and daughter.

    link: In Between: A Poetry Collection

    "In Between" is a book of poems divided into three sections, each showcasing the major turning points of a woman's life - finding love, becoming a mother, and the self-growth that has taken place along the way. Although the poetry describes an individual experience, it touches on intense feelings many other women experience in their lives at one point or another, making it not only relatable, but acting as a voice for words that we often struggle to speak aloud.
