Book Cover & Preview Text
Sanctuary of Snow is a collection of life poetry that will invite you to take a slow walk in every direction that living could possibly take you: Discovery, Love, Pain and when all is said and done, Thoughts. Adriann “The Pen” Bautista has developed a unique ability to paint vivid colorful pictures through hyperbole, imagery, and the subtlety of wordplay. From the first line to the last poem you will find yourself immersed in a world of purple stanzas, blue dirges and rainbow sonnets, as evident in the poem entitled: "Choosing" The strength of your love made me choose to live/ Rather than settle for a life of drab denim/ Dull grays/ Muted browns / And boring beige/ Today I choose/ Patent leather red/ Neon green/ Sunshine yellow/ Blue not navy either but cobalt/ I choose tangerine orange/ Royal purple/ 14 karat gold/ Sterling silver/ And when the colors run out/ I’ll choose you

About the Book
There is a certain peace found in the sound of silence that freshly fallen snow exudes – a silence that wraps itself around you like a sanctuary.
Sanctuary of Snow is a collection of life poetry told vividly and boldly in Quadrants: Discovery, Love, Pain and finally Thoughts. Through the Pen you will experience first hand how she became aware of the need for a Sanctuary and then ultimately through beautifully hued free verse found “herself” despite the many challenges that life had presented.
S.O.S invites you to discover yourself in between the stanzas and beneath each layer of poetic sanctuary.
