Poet of Christ: Whispers of Flowers is a book of poems of utter devotion to the Father, to Saint Mary, and to Jesus. Although these poems discuss many subjects—prayers for a sick friend, appreciation of nature, a celebration of Stevie Wonder, utter respect for many different faiths—the layered images of flowers, jewels, light, and vibrant colors woven throughout create a cohesion within the manuscript and add a depth of physical detail.

The human experience is a journey through time, space and moments meant to expand our collective consciousness. These moments come and go in an instant. What did we feel, see and learn from these moments? This book is a collection of one man's moments. Moments filled with love and pain; self loathing and self awareness. Moments of frustration and anger; of pure joy and self acceptance. A journey to self discovery that all can relate to. These poetic moments are meant to engage, enrage, start a dialogue page after page. Political correctness has legislated our morality without the freedom to debate. This collection is a challenge to that oppressive mandate. Rendered in clear, concise, and often provocative prose and poetry, "Observations, Volume One" is meant to offer a balanced view of the human experience, that we as spiritual beings are experiencing on this planet in this moment. People who are reaching and wanting for something more will find this collection full of judgement, understanding, forgiveness and the hope for a better future. After all, if we can't admit our mistakes, learn from them and strive to be better, how can we logically expect mankind to survive? The real question is, can we get past our self, our ego and our greed to go within, change and then help to change the world? The changes will come one person at a time. Not with religion, war, politics or policies. No grand schemes or legacies. One person at a time, in that moment. What will your next moment be?

Words can describe reality, but they are also capable of creating new purposes, behaviors, shapes, and meanings. The poems in Creative Words are a part of the author’s own search for something expansive and deep in our relationship with God, the world, and one another. In many religious traditions, wisdom and words are active forces in the creation of the cosmos. These poetic reflections celebrate the connection between creation and creativity, imagination and inspiration, myth, wonder, feeling, and the strange and mysterious power of words. Here the inquisitive reader will find a mixture of moods and topics, and a sense of balance; the poems can talk about depression and anxiety but also hope and joy. These poems are neither universally optimistic nor brooding. Although deeply formed by faith, most of the poems in this collection are not overtly religious. This is poetry for religious and laypeople who enjoy creativity, poetry, and words.

As an expression of both the inherent beauty and inevitable suffering that exists in the world, Julie’s poems will find a home in the hearts of readers who resonate with, and find healing through, words: All those days, a life recovered a life reclaimed a life regifted a life restored. Hope is alive and well in this world. Hope will carry us home.

In this collection of original poems, the dreams, desires, and experiences of a young traveller are explored through the lens of a young woman seeking to know herself, the world around her, and the people in it. Using a lyrical free-verse style, these “letters to travellers” acknowledge the fear and trepidation of setting out on your own to find adventure, meet up with kindred spirits, find love, be homesick, discover where home really is, and everything in between. Travellers and adventurists of all ages will discover something of themselves in these pages, including small reminders that they're accomplishing great things even when it doesn’t feel like it. They’ll also come to understand that as messy as life can be, there is still love and hope for the inhabitants of our little blue planet. “I want to spark people’s curiosity, broaden their perspectives, open their minds, and open their eyes to this small world full of too many things for one lifetime.” —Brandi Marie
