Tangible Times

This book is a 19-year culmination of growth and maturity, introspection and reflection, observation and understanding and God’s gift of expression and creativity. 

Because a teenager and an adult created this collection of authentic poems, you will definitely find something that will appeal to you.

This book contains poems inspired by all that was internalized and perceived by the author over time.  It enables and encourages the reader to open his or her mind and make room for another.  Experience the author’s poetic depth of understanding and/or feeling about love, family, nature, adolescence, life and so on.

You are invited to get to know the author better through her poems.  This book is a lesson for men about women, a guide to parents about their children and/or teenage daughters, and part of the reality of womanhood.  No doubt you will laugh, smile, smirk, raise an eyebrow, relate to, analyze or just think while you are a part of this poetic process.

You can read this book for entertainment or study it in sociology, psychology or literature.  They are all relevant.  Enjoy!
