Against the backdrop of horrific war, Patrice teaches Louis to paint the inside of her heart and her soul, and inspires him to create the masterpieces he's destined for.Patrice is about the myth of art and artist and how a woman and man during wartime pull truth and art from pain, passion, and desire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeri Gale is a poet and writer of prose. \"Patrice: a poemella\" reveals her hybrid style of writing.
