""Marlene Rhein's How to Find God on the Dance Floor is a soul-stirring collection of poetry that doesn't tiptoe-it stomps, dances, and rages its way across the messy floor of human emotion. Rhein paints an unfiltered portrait of what it means to crave connection, wrestle with loneliness, and dig through the ruins of trauma in search of joy, self-worth, and transcendence. "" 5 Stars -- LITERARY TITAN ""In verse that is at once gritty and transcendent, Rhein explores longing, heartbreak, faith, and freedom, all with an eye toward emotional truth. Each poem pulses with rhythm and urgency, inviting readers to find divinity in places the church may have overlooked, like late-night clubs, quiet loneliness, and personal awakenings. Author Marlene Rhein has a visceral style that hits you with bold word choices, and as a result, she writes poetry that's alive, raw, rhythmic, and real."" 5 Stars - K.C. Finn for READERS' FAVORITE ""Marlene Rhein's How to Find God on the Dance Floor is an absolutely brilliant collection that, on its outset, just sounded fun, but is so much more. There is a rawness and depth in every single piece, and Rhein masters this with such lyrical grace that readers who appreciate finely crafted verse will find it here in abundance."" 5 Stars - Asher Syed for READERS' FAVORITE

Author Information

Even as a kid growing up in New York, Marlene Rhein had an incredible imagination and gift as a storyteller. She earned a Rod Serling Screenwriting Scholarship to Ithaca College and after graduation moved to Hollywood with nothing but a suitcase, forty dollars in her pocket, and the will and determination to succeed as a filmmaker. Not long after arriving, she was directing big-budget music videos for icons like 2Pac Shakur and Amy Winehouse and transferred that success into writing, directing and co-starring in her first theatrically released feature film ""The Big Shot-Caller"". As one of the ""Top 25 New Faces of Independent Film"" from Filmmaker Magazine, Marlene has continued to push the envelope in new formats with the creation of several self-starring web series including ""My Parents Are Crazier Than Yours"", ""Angry Gladys"", and ""I Don't Care About The Assholes."" She won the ""Best Actress"" award at the Long Island Film Festival for her short film ""Let Me Tell You A Story,"" and recently won the ""Best Director"" award in LA for her web series, ""The So-So You Don't Know,"" a dark comedy about urban loneliness. The show featured on Fox5 News Prime Time with Ernie Anastos, where Marlene spoke about the epidemics of isolation and depression as reflected in her filmmaking.With three feature scrips in the fundraising stage, Marlene has turned her attention to releasing a debut book of poetry. HOW TO FIND GOD ON THE DANCE FLOOR is as raw, vulnerable and truthful as it comes in regards to a love of music and finding self worth through movement.marlenerhein.com
