About this listen
she speaks of her life, of death and rebirth / and what it might be like to learn from the earth / of gray, tired thoughts and what it all means / why hearts beat so red and grass grows so green / she writes it all down, to her soul’s wild delight / in scribbles and lines ‘cross her arms and her thigh / she gathers them all like a squirrel with her seeds / and carefully plants them betwixt all the weeds / poems of love, and hate, and the self / and fictional tales about witches and hell / they all grew to height and took root in this book / to give you, dear listener, a moment to look / inside of a stranger’s strange, colorful mind / that spends all its days lost in space, dreams, and time...
With flowing rhymes, intoxicating free verse explorations, and vivid imagery, LIFE AS IT IS & OTHER POEMS will take you on a powerful journey through life and loss, depression and self-acceptance, nature and the universe, and everything in between. It will wrap its arms around you and cry with you. It will scream at the world and fight with you. It will teach you to grow wings and fly with you. It will show you life, as it is.

Great Sunday listen
This was a great book to listen to while I made Sunday brunch. This book was enjoyable and kept me interested. The performance was fantastic because I could understand clearly what she was saying even over the food I was cooking. The melody of the voice performer was one of the best I have heard. Fantastic overall I will recommend.

Emotional and beautiful
I really enjoyed this! These poems are so raw and beautiful. The narrator was great at putting the emotion of the words in her voice. This would be easy to listen to multiple times depending on what’s going on in your life. These are perfect to slow down and reflect for a little bit.

The narrator's voice captivated me.
Great collection of poetry. I was mainly drawn it by the narrator and her warm, rich voice. Velvet. 😍
