( Free Verse, if you will). I can write on love, nature, romance, comedy, politics and social issues( just about anything), however, I respect all writers, but I personally, would not write“ Dark” poetry.
6. Tell us a little about your book( s)- storyline, characters, themes, inspiration etc.?
My poetry book titles are“ SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER” and“ Renee’ s Poems with Wings are Words in Flight-I’ ll Write Our Wrongs”. They are sold online in softback, hardback and e-Book form at Amazon, Barns and Noble, Kindle, Nook, and Google( just to name a few web sites). A synopsis of: Renee’ s Poems with Wings are Words in Flight-I’ ll Write Our Wrongs!“ Renee’ s Poems with Wings Are Words in Flight is a collection of poetic accounts designed to have colorblind justice, hear the truth, touch freedom, taste love, and smell the Rose of Sharon. This book is written with such conviction that it is sure to cleanse the soul, mend the broken heart, and ultimately transform one’ s mind.”
7. What inspired you to write this title or how did you come up with the storyline?
My first published poem was written for Rutha Mae Harris of Albany, Ga., Original Freedom Singer and Civil Rights Activist. The poem“ Ms. Rutha Mae Harris” was given to her by my college Professor, Dr. Todd Allen, and was published with Judith Hampton-Thompson, Metro Gazette Publishing Company. Since then, it has been my badge of honor to have met the legendary Ms. Rutha Mae Harris, one of the original Freedom Singers of the Civil Rights Movement who‘ sang’ for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., on August 28, 1963, at The March on Washington DC. Note * Ms. Rutha Mae Harris has written acknowledgements in every-one of my books thus far. Rutha’ s poem was also published on the CUBM / Geneva College at the Center for Urban Biblical Ministry website. My poems have recently been published with KWEE Magazine, Tuck Magazine, and Rhythm and Muse Artist Spotlight. My work was also used in Albany Georgia, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, Tulum Mexico and Wake Forest North Carolina just to name a few places where Renee’ s Poems with Wings are Words in Flight have flown across God’ s seas.
8. Is there a message in your book that you want your readers to grasp?
“ But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you”( Matthew 5:44 KJV). 9. Is there anything else you would like readers to know about your book?
My poetic accounts are written from my heart, mind and soul and anyone reading my work is sure to feel my spirit.
10. Do you have any advice for other writers?
Yes; the late Dr. Maya Angelou, taught me how to‘ RISE’ within my writings and because of her“ Still I write, I write, I’ ll write” therefore, I say unto you, that one must release fear in exchange to write.
11. What book( s) are you reading now? Or recently read?
I just completed a Humanities Literature Course while in college and I read The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and( reread) The Color Purple by Alice Walker. Note *
Both were excellent writes.
