Sobre IBD

This poetry book was written with the express interest of showing the possibility of having a successful life, no matter what the circumstances may be. The first section of this book is dedicated to the children. They are at their most impressional stage. It is in a child’s early years that they are extremely influenced by various people and/or the environment of which they may find themselves. No matter what kind of background a child comes from, with the power of their mind, they can make or break their adulthood. It’s all in their attitude and their desire to aspire.

  • Polishing the Silver
    Jennifer Chrystie

Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • Family, Friends and Fun
    Joan Lewis
    Some of my poetry is inspired by someone’s action, some come by way of sight, sound or a feeling I may have. Some of my poems don’t come at all. Those are the most challenging ones because they force me to go in search of them. I jot a poem because it’s fun and it’s a contribute to society. Even if no one knows I’ve penned the verse, it gives me pleasure knowing it has bee...
