A shared grief from their great loss in a child and a teenager that …
I know the artist Jan Israel that did the illustrations for Joyce’s book of poetry. I’ve known Jan for over 40 years. I can tell you she put a lot of heart and soul into the paintings she did for her dear friend. Every detail was thought through thoroughly. These two artists have come together and produced something very special. One in art the other in poetry. This book is very special also because as friends since childhood, they have come together with their talents and produced something special. A shared grief from their great loss in a child and a teen ager that makes this book this especially precious. Because of what Jan shared about Joyce and her memories and stories, I feel as though I know her a bit and the poetry has become so much more to me. I have enjoyed poetry off and on in my life and am thoroughly enjoying what I read. You will too.
Poetry for People… Indeed !!!
Damn good book !!!
I think that good writing gives us the essence of the writer’s existence.
Joyce, thanks for sharing your heart with us.
And yes… I am a person who doesn’t like to read poetry.
Heart-touching
These poems capture powerful life moments that are sometimes just everyday, common life moments made suddenly the most important moment.
Use of words and phrases are delightful!
INSPIRING
I highly recommend this book. It’s a testament to Joyce’s life as a perceptive observer. Her poems are simple pleasures to read- I found that I could connect with these poems effortlessly. Her style is always accessible, and vivid. This is also a great book for people interested in writing about family, seasons, everyday life, travel, and nature. Her playful wit and spirituality run as threads throughout her poems. She notices everyday simple things in fresh ways, which inspires us to see things from a deeper perspective. Her impressions are presented with gentle clarity, almost like the lovely paintings presented as counterpart.
About The Author
Joyce P. Wilson
Notes, scattered, piled, and boxed, attest to Joyce’s lifelong desire to write. Poetry For People Who Don’t Like It explores her interest in nature and travel and reflects her quirky takes on every day life. She prefers to write short, free verse since she’s not much of a poetry reader herself.
