“A Collection of Perceptions” : By Scarlett Blue

   A few months ago I spent $14 on a little known book by a little known poet and author.  I waited impatiently for it’s arrival on my doorstep, and I’m sad to say, that I was caught off guard when it did arrive, expecting something else in the mail at the time as well, and the waiting for the other item had somewhat eclipsed my impatience for this book.  
   Upon this books delivery, I faithfully openned it up and read the little inscription with excitement.  I took the book with me to work the next day and began to slowly read through the carefully selected poems and excerpts from another poets life. 
   I read of the very real human experience, captured in honesty and love.  I read of longings and fears that echoed my own.  I read of obstacles surpassed and shed tears with the sorrows conveyed as well as lines of joyous poetry that gripped my heart.  I feel blessed to have taken the opportunity to patron a fellow poet and to include her works upon my shelf.  
   I speak of the book, “A Collection of Perceptions” by Scarlett Blue and I encourage you all to take a moment and stop by 1writegirl’s website, drop her a line, perhaps order one of her books.  I do not believe that you will be displeased, I am happy to add it to my collection of beloved books.
