Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a combination of two books. Only a Start was first published in 1978. It was probably the worst attempt at self-publishing ever seen by mankind. It is a compilation of poems Rebecka Vigus wrote as a teen until she was 23. It includes her poem, This Our State, which was introduced to the state Senate as a possible state poem for Michigan. These are her first writings and some are amateurish.
Beyond contains poems from Miss Vigus' later years. They deal with death and loss, her daughter's teen years and life in general. It also includes some song lyrics she has written. In this update she added some poems under the heading of memories. There are some poems here to capture your heart, but they also tell a story. It's up to you to find them.
