Shannon McRoberts Announces Print-on-Demand Availability of "Poetry for the Chronically Heart Broken and Depressed" at Lulu.com

"Poetry for the Chronically Heart Broken and Depressed" is an abridgement of a larger collection of poems written and illustrated by award-winning poet Shannon McRoberts. The subject matter of the poems primarily focuses on love and loss, thus the title of the book; however, Shannon would like readers to know that this book is not just another sappy collection of generic love poems. There are several poems in the book that just about anyone can relate to, some that will make a reader think, and then there are some that are very dark in nature. The book also features a special section where readers can write their own poems and draw their own sketches, which will truly allow each reader to personalize their copy of the book.

Frankfort, KY (PRWEB) July 10, 2005 -- Shannon McRoberts announces publication of "Poetry for the Chronically Heart Broken and Depressed" in conjunction with Lulu (www.lulu.com), the worlds fastest-growing provider of print-on-demand (POD) books.

This book is an abridgement of a larger collection of poems written and illustrated by award-winning poet Shannon McRoberts. The subject matter of the poems primarily focuses on love and loss, thus the title of the book; however, Shannon would like readers to know that this book is not just another sappy collection of generic love poems.

The book also features a special section where readers can write their own poems and draw their own sketches, which will truly allow each reader to personalize their copy of the book.

Shannon has been writing poetry for the last 13 years. She has always wanted to publish a volume of her best works and, until now, had found the process very costly and difficult. She came to Lulu because she wanted to be in control of the publishing process and found Lulus print-on-demand tools to be fast, easy, and most importantly free.

"Poetry for the Chronically Heart Broken and Depressed" is available for purchase at http://www.lulu.com/shannonsuzanne, which shares in a marketplace filled with other unique and sometimes downright strange items.

McRoberts states that, "Getting my book published through Lulu was fast and easy. The quality of the finished piece I received was outstanding and I am very pleased with how the book turned out. Im currently the envy of all my friends, but most importantly my book is 100% me, 100% unique, and 100% Lulu."

Independent self-publishing and print-on-demand at Lulu provide an entirely new avenue of information and expression that is not only easy to access from anywhere but is also cost-effective for our authors," said Henry Hutton, Director of Operations at Lulu.
