Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) January 21 2004 -- Wanda M. R. Garrett a Spiritual Poet releases her first self-published collection of poetry entitled, “EXPRESSIONS FROM WANDA.” Wanda’s poetry covers a variety of topics. There is a poem called, “The Tongue,” a very dangerous fleshy organ that we can’t seem to control. It will lie, tell the truth, slander, cut, slice and dice another person to death. This same fleshly moveable organ will praise God one minute and curse you out the next. The tongue will build you up one day and destroy in seconds. The words the tongue speaks will never die, but they live on the truth and a lie!

Expressions From Wanda is a very unique collection and is a must read for everyone, Her poetry has no boundaries, it knows no color, or race and isn’t limited by any denominational titles. Just open your hearts and minds and receive.
