Love and Other Stuff
Author: Venessa Atson
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1504943201
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Love and Other Stuff is a poetry collection that looks at the subject of love and things such as sadness, inspiration and thought provoking material to mention a few as seen through the eyes of the writer. Unconditional love is probably love in its purest form yet love means so many different things to different people. Some are good and some not so. In Love and Other Stuff the writer explores both sides of the coin to look at the good (as love should be) and also the bad but she also throws in a bit of humor, a bit of silliness and allows the reader into some of her most private thoughts.

Street Poetry

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
I started writing poetry as an outlet to the tragedies that have occured in my life. I have survived child abuse; physical, verbal, emotional abuse, racism and discrimination for my sexuality. I have overcome dark moments and have enjoyed happy ones, and through it all I have had my eyes on the prize. The goal has always been to share with others my thoughts and feelings, no matter how raw and uncensored they may be. I share my innermost demons because I know that there are many others out there just like me. Women and children with no voice, and with no choice. I write because it is natural to me. I write because it is my choice. I write because I have found my voice. I currently live in Lebanon, PA. I was born in New York City and I lived for a time in Puerto Rico. I am 26 years old. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, and in my circle I am the funny crazy girl... if only they knew.
