I view each of these insightfully poetic pieces with the reverence of one who is open to absorbing the wealthy perspective of a soul divinely sparked to delve gently into the depths of her own experience to bring forth gem after inspiring gem. And I am not disappointed. Rare it is that we are invited to get to the crux of all matters in an enjoyable ride. Unadorned by trend, "The Invitation" is exactly this. There is a celebration here of the tool of language well mastered. One enters, absorbs and is enriched.

By Jess C Scott, author of Eyeleash: A blog Novel

The poems are written with great lucidity and introspection. I especially liked "INTRUSIONS" - a skillful piece with a powerful message [the last line - you can check it out for yourself ;) - that's the message I got through my own personal interpretation]. 

Poetry is sexy. In our present day of IM-ing and blogging and twittering, it's evident that succinctness and precision are important elements, in the conveying of ideas. Which you will find in abundance, in The Invitation.

This was a wonderful read for me. The 53 poems drew me in with their different themes about what makes life worth living for, like the awareness, imagination, expectation, dreams, sublimation, encounters, interactions, drives and philosophical and mystical contemplations.
I like very much these verses in The Art Of Living:

"There is a talent in finding
the right information at the right time,
a happiness in pleasing someone else.

Love is the best teacher in this journey.
It is simple:
you take the initiative and throw the dice."


In this book, I have found a new author to enjoy and I look forward to reading her other works.
