Questions & Answers...
Question: What prompted me to write Symbols of Love?
Answer: This book is a collection of my art... it's an expression of viewpoints and self expression.
Question: How did I begin my love affair with writing and at what age?
Answer: I have had a love for writing at a very young age, when I was very young, I believe around age 7, possibly earlier, I remember awaking from a dream and with it still very vivid in my mind, my mother would encourage me to put it all down on paper. My mother, also a writer (http://www.lulu.com/peacockcarol) would talk of submitting our writings to the Reader's Digest for possible publication. So, as you can see writing has been a loved past time, instilled within me and has now become a necessary fiber of my existence.
Question: What are some of the subjects within this book and which piece am I most proud of?
Answer: The book touches on many if not all of life's subjects, it is a deep glimpse at my innermost thoughts and views of the world in general. The poem or piece which I am most pleased with is one which is very simple, pure and to the point... "Twisting & Turning" has always been the poem which has moved me the most. I have others, such as "Fracture" and "Whispers", and there are many which hold a special place within my heart, however, it's a feeling I would equate as to having a favorite child or a first born. Very similar to the love I hold for one of the first songs which I wrote called "Don't Take Your Love Away", which is also included within the book.
Question: What makes Symbols of Love unique for other poetry books or lyrics & why should anyone invest in this book?
Answer: I wrote Symbols of Love with careful and precise articulation, every word chosen is a word which I have deliberated over very carefully prior to it's placement. I wanted to ensure an honest conveyance of the feelings and emotion which I have experienced within my own life experiences and the accurate description of such. Symbols of Love isn't run on, waiting for a witty rhyme that never veers it's face, it isn't a gathering of words, simply for the sake of something to print. And it is definitely NOT the "norm" for poetic expression. The entire book is an artistic expression of my life, I am extremely proud of it and would love for everyone to enjoy what I have created! I promise it's worth the money! As I have said in the past, if you don't enjoy the book... I will refund your time.
