About the Book

This, my second collection of stories in Poetry, Prose and Ponderings is about life on the edge of my emotions, sometimes fearfully and sometimes fearlessly but always with a love of life and adventure, making sure to enjoy more than I fear in my effort to understand my own complicated story. I get asked frequently about the theme. My theme is my unquenchable thirst for exploring life while allowing my spontaneous spirit to live, and sometimes relive memories and recall encounters and stories that became an unforgettable part of me. I am open and available to all inspiration, nature, a painful experience, love affairs and almost love affairs, endurance, deep friendships, society as I see it, and the ultimate, the passing of loved ones, and of course, Covid. Hopefully, there’s some mystery or hilarity to pique the interest of curious minds. Whatever form they take, I am inspired by my love of life first, and fully allowing it to unfold. Relax, read. I desire to make a connection, create a distraction, or self-recognition, some humor but most of all to speak my truth. Let’s have a Spiritual encounter. Read my words, know my heart, and you may recognize our similarities. Come let our souls collide. “We Are One”.


About the Author

Galavanting is my second book. I am mostly a dreamer and a spontaneous writer who turns memories and unforgettable experiences into Poetry, Prose, and Ponderings. Poetry has been part of my childhood as far back as I can remember, as it is inherent in the culture I was raised in. Growing up I was amazed by the wit, humor, and poetry in the vibrant Calypso music composed by the locals, mostly common folk without much formal education. I was avidly aware of them from an early age and am a product of their art. My book of poetry Naked Angel is my first published book. Other of my poems were published in the American Anthology of Poetry, “If yuh Interested”, Chita Tande, and Spectrum Sonnetland.
