Inspirational & Touching Poetry Book ‘Cherish Your Beginning’ is Released in Celebration of National Poetry Month
PALMER, Alaska (PRWEB) March 18, 2019 -- April is National Poetry Month and to celebrate the occasion poet Randi Owens has released her inspiring first book, “Cherish Your Beginning,” of her forthcoming “This… Is About Life” series of poetry books. Owen’s provides an intimate and emotional look at her life as told through the poetry she wrote in the early seventies over a period of five years beginning during the formative time she entered high school where she felt completely lost in life.
Having grown up in the foster care system with her siblings after the untimely deaths of her mother and father, Owens turned to writing poetry as an escape from reality which allowed her self-expression when she felt she had no voice. Through her poetry, Owens wants readers to connect with the poems that provide meaning to their particular life experiences to aid them in their own quests for better understanding of their lives and actions.
“Cherish Your Beginning” presents poetry that is filled with H-E-A-R-T which represents Hope, Emotion, Acceptance/Answers, Revelation and Thought. Each poem is unique and offers a different meaning for readers allowing them to relax in thought and reflect on their personal life experiences.
“Poetry proved to be a valuable lifeline when I believed there were no other viable alternatives for dealing with my feelings. Poetry can provide therapeutic relief from worries and life’s excess stress,” said Owens. “It invites readers to incorporate their thoughts and emotions into the words, creating the opportunity for temporary breaks from everyday life encounters.”
The poetry featured in her subsequent books in the “This…Is About Life” series chronicles Owens coming into her own as an adult and finding and sharing the voice she once hid to help others in need as featured in “Book II: Fulfill Your Dreams” and “Book III: Determine Your Outcome.” To learn more please visit, http://www.thisisaboutlife.com.
