Your Heart My Renaissance

Your Heart My Renaissance is a collection of over thirty poems spanning a lifetime of love, loss and rebirth – a journey to be shared. In life, self-reflection often leads us to a reality that we have always known, yet have done little about. This collection opens a window on one’s soul, assists in growth and allows for contemplating the deeper meaning of our chosen existence. These rhythmic reflections on life and love span the generations.
