I have a guest post, er, poet today! We'll start with the basics:
Her name is Jeniann Bowers. Her most notable work is
Expressions and Letters, a soulful collection of poetry
.
Brief Bio:
Jeniann has
been writing poetry for seven years and has one previous poetry book published,
Expression on Life Book One, but recently retired it to publish Expressions and
Letters, which is a follow-up book that has twenty-one new poems and personal
letters written to the reader.
Jeniann’s writing techniques are somewhat
different from other poets. Jeniann writes mainly condolences poetry about her
true feelings and about her life and events that take place.
Summary of Expressions and Letters:
Expressions
and Letters is a poetry book about Jeniann’s life events, such as poems about
the passing of family members, sad love poems that Jeniann wrote years ago will
trying to save her marriage, and random thoughts about life in general.
Expressions and Letters is unique and different because Jeniann includes
personal letters after series of poems about the poetry, this helps connect to
her readers on a whole new level.
A teaser from Expressions and Letters:
Hearts Desire
Lurking in
the dark
Are hidden
marks
Of love so
true
You and me
Just as
thee
Searching
for the one to be
Only to see
Daylights
bright
For we are
blinded in the dark
To search
for the love
Our hearts
desire
But will
never be found
For love is
blind
But in our
minds
We still
hunt our prey
Wanting him
or her
To this day
Momma
In the
kitchen, with her apron on
Baking this
and that, at morning dawn
Sugar
cookies, fresh from the oven
With her
hair up in a bun
Momma was a
special lady
Her peanut
brittle was so crunchy
She cared
for everyone she knew
Her eyes
were the prettiest blue
Always
creative, never dull
Her mood
was blissful
Sewing
quilts of joy
For a new
baby boy
Momma was a
gentle soul
Her love
was whole
Never a
fragment
With that
she meant
In heaven
and beyond
Momma’s
love was such a bond
Even though
she is gone
Everyone
still feels drawn
Momma’s
love was pure
She was no
amateur
In the
kitchen, with her apron on
Baking this
and that, at morning dawn

A print-up of my interview with Jeniann:
Me: At what age did you first begin writing for fun?
J: I started
writing back in high school for a way to express my feelings on what was
happening in my world at the time.
Me: Do you have any new works to be published in 2014?
J: Yes, I am
getting ready to release Expressions and Letters on the 17th of
January, it is for sale but the promotion will start the 17th and I
also have a second book that I will be releasing on January 25, 2014 and it is
called Phraseology and Letters. I also have published a Collection of 25 days
of Christmas Poetry that I shared with my readers on my blog and recently
turned into a book.
Me: Is there anything you would tell your fans if you were
looking at them all right now face-to-face?
J: I would tell my
fans, not to ever give up on your dreams. Whatever the barriers are, they can
be beaten to reach a dream, I know because I am doing it. I face many barriers
everyday of my life, emotionally and physically.
Me: Where does your best inspiration or creativity come from?
J: My best
inspiration comes from my kids and a great friend, Cindy. As for you inspired I
to become a poet would be Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman. These
poets are my heroes in poetry.
Me: What is your favorite poetry style (e.g. haiku, sonnet)?
J: My favorite poetry
style is free verse and genre would be condolences poetry. I like free verse
because I can be creative with my writing and have more say in how I write it.
Condolences poetry is poems that come from the heart about personal
journeys.
