Echo and Light

As kindred spirits, E. C. Ho and Lucy Lombos composed and compiled their poems. They decided to publish their poetry collection lest they forget their personal "gems," the creative expressions of their thoughts and feelings. They tried their hands at writing poems either with rhymes or no rhymes or in free verse to deepen their knowledge of the familiar, global language and to be confident using it without conforming to the poetic forms, rules and measurements.

For both of them, poems are written reflections and fascinating glimpses or pieces of themselves that they would like to share with young and adult readers. The poems are like melodies to them. They sound like repetitive echoes and can be read wholly in a rhythmic tone to enlighten their minds and hearts.

In this book of poetry, "Echo and Light," the poets aim to preserve, immortalize and celebrate their thoughts and emotions and connect with poem lovers worldwide. They also desire that readers may resonate and reflect somehow or the other. In addition, it is purposive if the poems here serve as a shining light and healing process to the inner "demons" in the readers' minds, hearts, and souls or as a source of angelic and delightful aid in teaching poetry.
