None of us write alone without carrying on our back the whisperings of others. In case you are wondering, Ekphrastic poetry is an excellent way to pay renewed attention to the masters and their paintings or work of art. Many of us even use their art as inspiration, or "emotional fuel." Ekphrastic poetry is a hard word to spell but it makes an excellent conversation between two pieces of art. I enjoy using paintings to inspire my poetry. Poetically speaking, I think most poets are like honey bees hungrily searching through a grand buffet of past literature and art for that speck of pollen we can turn into our own honey.
______________________________
I believe to be a poet, you need to know when to listen and when not, as well as begin every day with a moment of silence, during the day listen to the children who are always on, we can learn as much from them as they us,
Poets need to befriend isolated thinkers, to enjoy their gift of gab, to recognize universal truths, listen to their intuitions, and welcome the muses that are their best fans,
Poets need to give credence to the “unseen” and to know that there is no coincidence, and be appreciative we enjoy free will,
Poets need to ride the winds with glee that blow through their minds, and to write those thoughts down before someone else does or before their forgotten all together.
Poets need to learn to appreciate the sun setting, a bird call, a quiet garden, a clear sky, and a creative effort with an unambiguous pen.
If you enjoy my poetry, you will love my new book. It contains most of the poetry here at Authorsfen, however, it is all tweaked and revised. Visit Smashwords url above and enjoy. Thank you.
Reviews for NEW BOOK, Conversing with the Masters
1st by M J. Hollinshead at Authorsden.com
Rhymster White has crafted an eclectic, balanced work trailing across a myriad of themes. The work is wordsmith in content, wordsmith in beauty. That White has come through sorrow, enjoyed beauty and finds worthwhile in much is evidenced in her odes, stanzas and poems.
Lyricist Joyce White has strengthened herself using spiritual standards directing the core values set down in use of art therapy for sculpting the heart and thus the emotional wellbeing of the self. White employs these values creatively as a way to promote healing and growth and self awareness.
Renewal of verve, optimism, self discovery, moving on following tragedy or even a happy life changing event are all recurrent themes running through her work. White’s Sculpting the Heart’s Poetry thrusts wellness and good heartedness to the forefront. Sharing pain, hurt and happiness is therapeutic, liberating and cathartic White fosters integrity and wellbeing through the curative acts of creativity.
God focused dreams, work and doing embracing a belief of duality, harmonizing radiance and dark through verse and conversing with our spiritual leader fills our essence with the healing, joy and motivation to move forward with renewed vigor and self awareness in the face of the upsets we all face in life.
Filled with a poignant, ethereal quality the written works offered by White are counter balanced nicely with various depictions of art work including sculpture, pictures of various medium and photographs, all in all she has taken an eclectic set of materials and woven them into an affirmation of women in whole and the individual woman who may be reading.
Happy to recommend Joyce White’s Sculpting the Heart’s Poetry while conversing with the Masters.
For review I received an ARC from the author.
2nd by Sage Sweetwater Writes Blurb For Joyce White's Upcoming Book of Poetry
Joyce White queries Celebrity Firebrand Lesbian Novelist Sage Sweetwater to write a blurb and lend the Firebrand's name for another soon-to-be-released Joyce White title.
Joyce White sent me her poetry to review and asked if I would consider writing her blurb, stating that she would like to have my name on the back of her upcoming poetry book. I am happy to honor Joyce's request, and so here is what I have to say. Be looking for Joyce White's book of poetry soon.
"Feminist godly mythology...Sensuous, of love, of women and addictive, competitive drama...Angel-bearing wings, Joyce White's poetry flies above life's fault line..."[Sage Sweetwater, Celebrity Firebrand Lesbian Novelist].
