Books of Note

Praise Poetry and Propaganda  

"Writing Praise Poetry and Propaganda became a spiritual assignment for me. Working on this book over several years, I would tend to set it down and pick it up again. I had to cultivate my focus to finish! I finally engaged and persevered."

"I am very sensitive. Many people believe that being sensitive is a form of weakness. I realized it allowed me to feel and have compassion. Giving me the ability to convey a universal message of hope that resonates through my poetry. I thank God for the courage I have to speak up and bring awareness to controversial issues. What many assumed was a type of weakness is actually my strength." ~ Janice E. Groves Todd

Janice Groves Todd has a voice for the common folk. Her collection of poetry reminds of us recent historical, political, and cultural events.

Strange Fruit 

The Left Side Poets Present Strange Fruit is a collection of pieces delving into the battle between youthful curiosity and adult angst. In an attempt to find who they are as people, the Left Side Poets have produced an anthology of work that tackles historical preservation, deference of the flesh, religious ambivalence and the vicissitudes of love, while striking a balance between the distinctive styles of its members. In all, it is a conversation about life’s physical, spiritual and mental challenges and how the written and spoken word can be used as a gateway to understanding exactly what it is that ails us through narrative, prose and lyricism.
