JOURNEY OF THE HEART is a poetry anthology with which most people will identify, especially those who grew up in the rural areas. The anthology spans a number of interwoven themes, including memories of childhood; experiences linked to growing up; being a teenager; the world of work; being in and out of love; political views; as well as tributes to departed famous personalities. The poems were written as a reflection on snippets and samples of life. They were written to capture fleeting moments in time and in memory, to reflect a reaction to events, to address unresolved inner tensions, and to verbalize emotions. The poems are about survival and eschewal of victimhood.
