An inspiring collection of poems written around the subjects of hope, inspiration, power, and faith.

I will then feel that my life has left something significant to the world.

By day, C-suite executives hire Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter to convert ambiguity into clarity - to cultivate their personal brands. Out of this day-in, day-out writing rigor has emerged a fervency for poetic expression - to express emotions in the moment. This urge to wax poetic has liberated her feelings into rhythmic clarity across thousands of poems. Most of Jacqui's poetry is imbued with water-related images from her husband, Rob's, and her lifestyle on North Padre Island as well as their years at Lake Texoma, Texas. Further exhilarating this poetic journey has been the generous and uplifting feedback from friends, family, clients and even people she never met. They share how she helped put their thoughts and feelings into words, expressing their emotion through visual content that not only validates their feelings, but also imbues them with hope and optimism. Traversing the soliloquies of the pelican to the wafting warm waves of the ocean, and beyond, this carefully curated collection of more than 100 of Jacqui's favorite poems offers soul-steadying verses of confidence and joy, amid the struggles of your every day.

A tremendous testimony of God's grace and love that ultimately births and inspires poems of hope. Antionette Campbell clearly displays her gift of writing. This will offer insight to those who may be walking through similar situations or simply facing obstacles in life. Victory is imminent and God is given the glory. A great mixture of story and inspirational poetry that will keep you reading until the end. This will be the first of many great books to come. -Laura Goncalves... Antionette Campbell's life is a testimony of God's grace and love to Deuteronomy 4:29-31. I'll paraphrase it. If you truly seek God with your heart and soul; and when troubles come to you, in future days, if you'll come back to God and listen to His voice. He won't abandon you to ruin or forget the covenant He swore to your ancestors. -Lorraine Lambright "Terri Jackson is a Marriage and Family Counselor..." Antionette Campbell has written a very touching and very personal book based upon her own real life challenges and tragedies. Her compassion for others who are deeply wounded by life's battles is evident in her poems and extends the hand of hope to the hurting. Her faith in Christ and personal testimony of His healing and restoring love in her life will encourage and uplift.

Coping and Hoping pretty well sums up what Ed Keelen has been through over the past several years. His friends call him “Miracle Man” for the number of times he has escaped the clutches of death and has come back to life. Even though he came back to a life of pain and suffering, to him it was a life well worth living. Ed's mantra is “to see the preciousness of life and the goodness of God through the lens of pain and suffering.” For quite a while, he was looking through the wrong end of the lens and would complain and show anger toward God and his friends. But through a process of reading the Psalms of Lament and then developing his own talent for writing similar poetry, he gradually went from despair to hope. Ed is not a trained or seasoned poet. Instead, he writes from the heart, and his poems engulf the reader in the emotional roller coaster that constitutes his life.
