Publisher's Synopsis
WORDS TO INSPIRE: A Collection of Poems By (Author) I. Catlin Benjamin Introduction (and edited) by Adlai Carrott One can learn a lot about Antiguan born and current USVI resident I. Catlin Benjamin from the themes of her poems in her first published work: her love, devotion, and appreciation of her Creator, her family, and the profoundly wonderful things in life - and of life itself. The author is an optimist and one who, with the help of God, is determined to confront and overcome all challenges. This trait is present throughout her collection of poems. And as she draws upon her life experiences, her poems evoke powerful images of the most sacred pursuit in life - giving thanks to and praising God, displaying gratitude to and adoration for the most important persons in her life - mother, father, brother, and expressing joy in the beauty and magnificence of nature's riches. So read and enjoy the author's passion as she shares her poetic treasures with us, including her touching tribute to motherhood, 'Who is She?' the thought provoking, 'The Soul, ' her praise of the Almighty in 'He Cares, ' and 'Giving Thanks, ' her eternal optimism in 'With Sunshine in My Heart, ' and her personal reflections of the beauty of 'My Lily, ' and the wonders of "In This Little Kitchen, ' and 'Home.' Words to inspire indeed!
