Summer of 2020 presents a poetic voice unearthed by the backdrop of the mind-bending events in 2020. Devastating the sensibility of reasonable men and women. Black and white…all colors in between.

Yet only two, on who, the events of 2020 were planned. Enter at the beginning. Recall the days. Conclude for yourself, color or fade.

I wrote this book by imagination in poetry. About relationships had or would like to have. Some poems are romantic, some jokey. Others here and there come to mind of kind of everywhere. As the world turns on its love lights.

I wrote this anthology over a period of 11 years on and off. This book is borne from an encouragement and cheer ministry I have on the job plus the special gift I have in writing Christian poetry. I have been writing and reading verses and poems to cheer the sick I care for. I added a Bible verse each time, and both were received well and created joy in their hearts.

The players emerge out from behind their masks into the collision of deception and suspense.

Then came a time to build my shattered life. I had my legal work, of course, but that was not enough. I rafted for a week down Colorado River rapids. The scenes and feelings evoked there gave birth to river poems presented here. At that time, too, I wanted back the home life I’d abandoned recklessly. The love poems written at that time reflect the hopes and fears and turmoil driving me. I, also in those years, wrote legal articles that most properly have since been long forgotten and ignored.

Encouraged shares the struggles that Black women ministers face. The various challenges shared may not be experienced by all but many have walked this walk. It is about loving God and yourself enough to stand strong in what God has called you to do. It is vital across denominational understandings that African American women ministers give sacred support to one another to spread the good news of the Gospel.

Poetry is about empathy, imagination, observation, and about internal and external truths. These works focus on a person's relationship with nature, others, and self, through depicting hope, love, memory, shame, immortality, acceptance, faith, happiness, confidence, passion, recognition, diversity, perseverance, forgiveness, vulnerability, and loneliness. Nevertheless, this poetry collection is like an assortment of gothic romances, because, despite a melodramatic imagination, love somehow finds a way to dominate and triumph all else.

We do not come by knowing our purpose when we first entered this world. There are no instructions or clear guidelines given to us, but there are clues. Many of us never even find our purpose and thus never live the life we were created for. My attempt in this book is to provide the clues or “Puzzle pieces” that I believe were not only put within us to find but are also discovered outside of us through life choices (good and bad).
