Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Before computers, we wrote letters. My mother's letters were like little novellas, several pages long. Her family members and friends loved to get her 'books.' Letters from mom were heartfelt and brought tears of love. As her pen moved passionately across the pages, sometimes her clear, blue eyes would well up. Letters were her release. They were her way of expressing herself in ways she could not voice. Occasionally, she would write letters to people out of anger and then tear them up. These could have been to politicians, relatives, and those are the ones I knew about. She would express her heart's desire, open up her soul, and pour out her thoughts. Doiron, Kay (illustrator).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Finalist: 2024 American Writing AwardsInternationally recognized poet and author Zaneta Varnado Johns is back, fueled by passion, purpose, and steady acclaim. She is spiritually grounded, filled with love, appreciation and awe. In response to the loud applause garnered by her two previous poetry collections, Johns presents Encore: A Collection of Poetry. Featuring ninety-nine select poems, Encore is a gift from the author's heart. In the book's Dedication, Johns states, 'For every relative, friend, poet, and organizational leader who pushed, prodded, nudged, and encouraged me: this one's for you. I titled this book to acknowledge your applause. I heard it. I loved it. I responded. This is your encore-from my heart to yours.' Some poems, previously featured globally in anthologies, make an encore appearance in this collection.Take your seat and prepare to be enchanted by Encore's stellar performance. Encore begins with romantic musings and essences sparked by the poet's life and thoughtful interpretations of the lives of others. Poetic threads are woven through lyrics inspired by favored locales. From Hawaii to Boston's Cape Cod, Colorado to Greece, Johns writes as she marvels at her surroundings and experiences. Her compassion for people is beautifully expressed either as poetic observations or unique tributes found in the chapter titled, 'In Awe.' The heartwarming 'Joy in Her Swing' celebrates the resilience of five-year-old Azaria whose mother and grandmother passed away within three years of each other, entrusting her care to her grandmother's devoted selfless childhood friend. Johns' prose poem, 'She Speaks for Me,' is a masterpiece showcasing renowned African and African American women poets who persuade her writing. Johns has a lot to say about the human condition. Some poems are concise while others are grouped in the chapters titled 'Rants and Spiels' or 'Keynotes.' She passionately addresses hunger, gun violence, women's empowerment, and prejudice, among other contemporary issues. Anyone with a heart will be stirred by 'Hunger, a Global Tragedy' and 'It Has to Stop,' two poignant poems illuminating the realities of hunger and the poet's gut-wrenching reaction to yet another senseless school shooting. Johns is a personal figure in 'Not Eclipsed' and 'Life as a Breeze,' expressions concerning skin color and prejudice. Johns imparts the spirit of Hawaii's aloha in Encore's message. 'My Walk Along the Ocean' and 'Blessed Life' are examples of poems reflecting tranquil moments of immense gratitude. Encore's expressions are accompanied by complementary images and quotes-the poet's signature accent found in her two previous collections. With Encore, Zaneta Varnado Johns leaves an indelible mark with every word and artistic rendering.…
