POTPOURRI

More about the book

Potpourri is a collection of literary compositions by the same author of The Poet's Eye, First Collection, which was published in 2002.Sporadic inspirations recorded on anything at hand constitute the substance of this collection of poems, and with the inclusion of essays, short stories, and vignettes, has earned for this second book the name Potpourri, a bouquet of diverse offerings by the impassioned seventy-five year-old writer. Remnants and reflections of her own life, obviously lived to the fullest, are manifest in the compositions, with sensitivity and empathy for other lives and situations observed and recorded.Beauty, pathos, love, frustration, humor, and nature's majesty pervade the pages of this collection, and the depth of the poet's pocket, the original source of the majority of the items selected for both of the author's books, may determine how many other collections could possibly follow through to future publication.The author has many earlier and recent individual compositions published in anthologies and literary journals.
