A Collection of Heartfelt Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781608802661)

I was born in Fort Campbell, KY (military base) on April 6, 1981. From 1985-1991, I lived in Richmond, KY and Clarksville, TN. I moved to Knoxville, TN in 1992, and in 1999, I received my high school diploma from Bearden High School. I started writing poetry after I attended Maryville College in Maryville, TN for two years. My first poem, "Canst Thou Love Again," was published by the International Society of Poets in Las Vegas, NV in 2001. The poem was dedicated to my ex-boyfriend, and most of my love poems were written in memory of him. Writing poetry is very important to me because it is a good way to express myself and my feelings. Life was hard growing up in a distant dysfunctional military family, so poetry is the best way to have my messages heard. "My Lost Lover" was published by Eber & Wein Publishing in Pennsylvania in 2012, and "My Spiritual Self" was published by the World Poetry Movement in Utah in 2013. Also, "Doth Thee Love Still" was published by the World Poetry Movement in 2013. I graduated from Mayville College with a bachelor of arts in business and organization management in December 2007.
