The first collection of poetry by first time author, N.V. Torres, "I Know All The Right Things To Say" is testament to what makes us human. It is the painful/sweet love story, the rude reality of growing up, the injustice in the world, and the constant doubt and insecurities that we wear on our sleeves.
Excerpt
From the Preface:
"…Poetry, to me, is a river that leads to all insecurities, unanswered questions, complex emotions and lessons learned. It is your laughter and your cries; your limitations and your strengths. Poetry is never dishonest. It validates every single feeling we, as beings, sense...Poetry is a cycle; a healer and a gift that spreads its seeds from soul to soul, never ending its duty to awaken and stimulate the spirit."
This collection of poetry addresses the nature of time, reflections on the natural world, the difficulty of loss,
contemporary social issues and gratitude for life.
