Kaleidoscope (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781612048345)

Kaleidoscope is a collection of prose and poetry that takes a glimpse at our lives, reflecting back our dark secrets as well as our beautiful dreams. Just as a real kaleidoscope emerges in a collage of ever-changing colorful patterns, the flowing poetry in Kaleidoscope changes its words, portraying a stained glass image of our lives. The words continually float from dark to light, exposing a prism of our inner fears and hopes. The entire collection is about how different situations in our life affect each of us, says author E.J. Barnett. "I am inspired by the spirit within, simplicity and children." Her words evoke images that will stay with you long after the last page is read.

"E.J. Barnett stands far from the tenebrous poetry of this generation. She brings light to her pages and makes us feel better about our future." - Bobby Dews, writer in residence at Andrew College, Cuthbert, Georgia, and former Atlanta Braves coach

"Intriguing for lack of a better word. E.J. speaks with a clear inner voice on the reflections of life." - Ralph W. Hill, Airport Operations Manager, Landside, Port of Oakland, Aviation Division, Oakland, California

"The words of E.J. Barnett are vivid, moving and draw me in. Her work is insightful and awakens all my senses." - Kim Parker, MSPT (master's in science physical therapy)
