Publisher's Synopsis
She's back! And once more I. Catlin Benjamin's poetry displays variety in theme as she focuses on relationships, tributes to family, students, teachers, heroes and country, and the triumph of will over adversity. 'Poetry from the Heart: Real Talk, ' is the authors' second publication, following up on 'Words to Inspire: A Collection of Poems.' This time around her poems take on a harder, more personal, and at times, a provocative edge. And they make for compelling reading, none more than 'Three Strikes and You Are Out, ' 'A Real Man, ' and the spellbinding ' Wedding Night' with an unforgettable last line...'she slept and dreamt of the spice without sugar' Here, Catlin pulls no punches, but then again we should expect nothing less with a sub title of 'Real Talk.' Her first written poem, 'Island of My Birth' is included, as well as other works that demonstrate her passion for the teaching (her chosen) profession, and her indomitable spirit and will to succeed in all pursuits. 'They Said' and 'I Believe' aptly tell Catlin's story as she overcomes negativity and other obstacles placed in her path. Gripping stuff!
