      Acknowledgments

      I would like to begin by acknowledging my mother, Warrine Chaisson, who took me to the library to get my first library card and ignited my love for reading and expressing myself on the pages of paper as a young girl. I would also like to thank a friend of mine, who is a poet, for reminding me of how much I love poetry. A special thanks also to all of my close friends and gym buddies who have supported me on this journey.

      Dedication

      To my beautiful daughter Amber, whose sweet spirit and smile always fills me with so much joy.

      Many thanks to my family for their support .

      I would like to thank all my friends who read my countless poems and believed in me and encouraged me.

      Lastly, thanks to my publisher and his wife for their unwavering support during this time that my book was being birthed.
