Trini, My Life of Poems is a collection of poems written over a span of 20 to 30 years after my divorce. Life continues as a young naive 32-year-old with three children tackles life. My girls were nine and twelve and my little boy was four. I was raising three young children, working, and going to UTEP to become a teacher. The poems would come to me late at night after some crisis or incident with the kids. Now as a professional mental health therapist, I can say that the poems were my way of processing the life event, trying to make sense of it. I heard this morning that when something scary or horrible is happening, God is around to help. I believe they were talking about the time the disciples were caught in a storm, and Jesus walked on water to help. Trini, my Life of Poems has a poem, “Life is like the Dark, Dark Sea”.

“Mi vida de poemas” es una historia de determinación, valor y una fe inquebrantable. Cada poema es un capítulo de una vida llena de luchas y la perseverancia de una madre soltera. Respira cada línea y comparte esas experiencias y ve ellas a través de las ventanas de sus ojos. Algunos poemas le permiten volar como una mariposa, la realización de la libertad de un primer vuelo, mientras que otros traen un dolor a tu corazón. Deja sentir el anhelo de una pareja amorosa y el cuidado y la dedicación a sus tres hijos. Su prosa nos lleva a donde no sabemos cómo ir nosotros mismos, mirando profundamente en nuestras almas con poemas que cantan a veces y a veces regañan a uno. Un viaje fascinante expresado desde el corazón de un escritor de talento. Búscate un rincón tranquilo y comparte una vida en prosa que rara vez tenemos el privilegio de visitar.
