Reflections and Recollections: a Book of Poetry from the 1960's to the Millennium Jean Barr

Publisher Marketing: Do you enjoy a chronicle of the transformation of a small Southern town girl into adulthood? Interested in spirituality, Christianity, and philosophy from a both a child's perspective and a median aged Southern woman? Then you definitely want to read this. The 1960's poetry are written from a young teen's viewpoint which is simple, yet profound. A little girl muses about the meaning of life and talks to her confidant doll in "Petula." "The Almond Tree and the Austrailian Pine" is from the "Still Searching" 1970's section. In this poem, two trees in are personified in a conversation with loneliness and hopefulness as its themes. "Losing Me, Finding God" from the 1980's contains "The Process." "Sift me through your sifter, Lord. Grind me in your mill, Mix me in your mixer, Lord Until I know your will." But "Complaints" in the author's opinion is the most well written of all the 80's poetry. Read about the heartbreak of divorce and subsequent renewal in "Empty Spaces, Empty Places" from the 1990's section. But the author believes her best work is in the millennium section. It's here where she writes about a middle aged housewife's frustration over perceived death of dreams in "Frostbitten Dreams." And "A Fine Line We Walk,""Water Under the Bridge," and "A Coal Minin' Man and a Wayward Wife" focuses on frustration of poverty in the South and the development of an almost stoic philosophical acceptance of it. Contributor Bio:  Barr, Jean If you want to start losing weight today and continue losing weight every day until you reach your goal you have come to the right place! I have been helping people do just that for years. It's not as hard as many would have you believe and it's not all about living on bean sprouts, meagre portions and going without the foods you love. I write about fat loss, I talk about fat loss, I keep up to date with the latest research into accelerating fat loss and most importantly, I keep it simple which is why my diets work. Making massive changes to your eating, shopping and cooking habits is too hard for most of us to maintain for longer than a couple of weeks and results in little other than frustration, hunger and cravings for pizza and pastries. Why risk it? Learn a little about why the body stores fat rather than burns it, make a few changes and see fast and lasting results.
