About me
I Am…the ferocious, sensuous, authentic poet for whom my Secret Self lusts.
Born a Cosmic, Spiritual, Mischievous Misfit, I used to think maybe God left out something pretty imperative when designing me, because on planet Earth, I find I no sooner get slightly comfortable with whom I might actually BE becoming, than the numbing, self-sacrificing rituals begin. Being human has never come easy for me…
I reside in the question mark. I breathe in words. Curious questions bore holes through my Soul on the regular. I piss off everyone I adore …just enough to help us love each other…maybe a little bit more.
Find yourself within the echoes of my naked screams.
I’ll be waiting for you.
All I want to do is Realize what I Realize.

The story of
Rebecca Alford D'Amato
Rebecca Alford D’Amato, a spiritual, passionate, mischievous misfit, has completed her new book “There Is No Cheese”: a wide-ranging, sense-arousing, poetic contemplation of the perplexities of humanism which will make readers laugh and cry and question this majestic experience called life.
Rebecca asks, “What does life want from me? What do I want from life? Do the questions themselves tell the story? Am I asking the right questions? Is there a wrong question?” Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Rebecca Alford D’Amato’s playfully provocative quest offers a relatable journey into the messages and meanings of the human experience.
Readers who wish to partake in this ingeniously curious adventure can purchase “There Is No Cheese” at bookstores everywhere or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Life in a physical body is a journey along a razor’s edge. Upon birth, humans are endowed with the gift of free will. We must tread lightly because that razor’s edge is sharp and cuts deeply. At this most auspicious time in the history of humanity, we all have a choice. We can choose to land on the side of hate, anger, fear, judgement, self-righteousness, and power-over. Or we can choose to land on the side of love, contentment, nonjudgment, spiritually-inspired self-awareness, and power-with. There is no in-between on a razor’s edge. That’s why Becky’s search for cheese is so elusive. Becky is the only person I know who lives on both sides of that razor’s edge simultaneously. Her book will take you on both sides of the journey of humanity. By reading her book, you will be constantly shown who you would most love to be and who you most hate being. Her stories tell both sides of the sharpest edge you have yet to imagine! Sometimes you will be cut, deeply sliced to the core of your being. Sometimes you will heal, allowing you to soar to the heights of ecstasy. But I promise, you will not stay long on your razor’s edge. It’s too sharp for even the heartiest of seekers. After reading Becky’s book, you may come away a changed person, a more whole person, a more self-aware person. I hope you savor every slice of your cheese.
I have known Becky for many years. Becky is beyond a shadow of a doubt my dearest most unique friend. She seeks the light in the darkest of places. In her book, you will find her Soul laid bare for all to see. And in her nakedness, you just might find yourself.
Becky’s book is BIG because her hard-fought answers are BIG. There really is no cheese. There is only us, seeking our own answers to our own questions. Ask big questions. Get big answers. But here’s the key: We are eternal. There is no cheese because there is no end in which to house the cheese. We humans have a hard time grasping that concept. We live deeply mired within time and space, therefore we are forced to view life in a linear fashion. But not my dear friend Becky! Becky lives inside her head, above the time track, above the space where seeking is necessary. She is not afraid to live her truth while screaming it from the roof tops. I greatly honor this brave Soul named Becky. And I would highly recommend you take the time to find yourself within the echoes of her scream.
Some wonderful reviews from Judges; the 10th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards.
“This book is exemplary … It is unique but still has strong appeal for most readers in its intended genre.
There may not be a cohesive theme for the book, since we do wander widely among topics, but that’s where the beauty lies. It’s a big, jumbled, beautiful pile of creativity.
Author writes with bright energy, and some of the insights may floor us in their seemingly disjointed transitions, but it’s always told to us in happy or emphatic tones so that we embrace the insights. For instance: ‘Some people get greedy and feed. I prefer to taste and tongue twirl.’ We’re then quickly off to how she flies with her supplements in a plane seat. It’s all over the place, but it’s what the author’s narrative design is.
Very often, great insights pop up in the manuscript. ‘You will be what you believe you will be.’ We have to look for them, but the insights are there. Using the different colors of ink reminds me of the works by Sark, artistry in the writing itself sharing the insights she brings. This book carries that same feeling of words bursting off the page. Well done.”
