Produktbeschreibung
After writing and compiling a lifetime of poems, I revisited them and then gathered some of my best into one collection. It wasn't until 2016, after retiring from forty-two years as a registered nurse, that I decided to fulfill a lifelong dream-publish this collection of poems with expressive artwork. Poems I wrote as early as age fourteen became formidable challenges as I attempted to illustrate these poetic thoughts with meaningful images. Never having the opportunity to attend formal art school over my lifetime, I relied on raw instinct to create the drawings. Inspired by poetry written over a lifetime, the illustrations transformed verses into visible emotions. These are my chronicles of insight now sculpted from the lines of the poetry that conceived them.
