Journeys: a Collection of Poems Sylvia Martinez

Come with me on a journey through space and time; to various places on earth and out of it; to places as easily accessed as your own back yard, and places that can only be reached deep in the memory or the soul. Take my hand, let's begin... This collection of poems, written over the span of some years, comprises an autobiography of sorts: each one has special meaning to me or addresses some aspect of my life. I wrote them as a legacy for my children and grandchildren, but I believe they speak to a much larger audience about the universal themes of relationships, family, the wonders of nature, and the questions we humans have concerning the meaning of it all. From this you might think that this is a very serious tome, but such is not the case. Quite a few of the poems are lighthearted in nature; and I attempted to endow all of them with a lyrical quality that makes for easy reading. I hope you will now accompany me on my journeys in verse.
