It delves into questions of loss, transformation, and the allure of destruction, while simultaneously questioning the validity of those feelings.


Ken LéMarchand, the imaginative mind behind Stained Love Like Egyptian Cotton (2023), embodies a paradox: a self-proclaimed homebody with the spirit of an adventurer, yet harboring the playfulness of a child in an aging vessel.

His academic journey led him to graduate cum laude from Southern New Hampshire University with a Masters in English & Creative Writing. Departing from conventional paths, he embarked on a solitary rebellion against the norms of the publishing industry, carving his unique trail through the enigmatic realms of literature.

In the course of this daring odyssey, he birthed Wandering Metaphors, a creative haven, complemented by a recently introduced literary and artistic sibling magazine.

While envisioning a future as a teacher specializing in muggle studies at Hogwarts, Ken presently imparts the magic of poetry through private lessons, refusing to be confined within institutional boundaries. His boundless passion extends to offering weekly writing wisdom via his engaging blog.
