For Lisa, writing in a journal never seemed to appease any negative thoughts, nor did it adequately celebrate positive ones. For her, the only way she could relate her feelings was through poetry. Her first collection runs the gamut of human emotions and describes her journey from childhood to self-actualization. Presented in nine books, she is able to express her darkest days and most illuminated nights in beautiful, vibrant and reflective poetry. Her poems will hit home, tug at the heartstrings, soothe the soul and enlighten the mind. They are for those who have lost everything and for those who have won the world. They are for the oppressed and misjudged, and the triumphant and empowered. They are for those who realize the power of the sun lies in a single fragile tear and the love of the human heart, in a sweet and simple smile.
