You do not have to be a hundred years old, or have experienced a lifetime of sorrows, or have some kind or old song to write poetry. Poetry/prose comes from sources beyond senses, from hidden places within us that demand expression. The gift comes and goes through contained words. Road and Reminiscences does not come from fame or popularity, it comes from the heart of a child far beyond her years.
How rich is the tapestry woven from the mind of this young innocent warrior. She has a gift only that begs passion. No finer words of Martin Luther King have ever been published. No observation of family, friends and life can be richer in their spoken words. So the blend of mother and daughter is combined to form a picture or Roads and Reminiscences and invite us to travel with them in our hearts.
Circa l’autore
Dr. Linda Mata has complied several collections of creative materials written by herself and other amateur writers. She developed an interest in poetry writing at a very young age and was awarded a certificate for her poem, ‘Song of the Courageous Pioneer, ‘ a poem written to commemorate ‘Pioneer Day, ‘ while attending middle school. The author had continued to feel an urge to write, but did not pursue a writing career.
Her writing aspirations were revived with her daughter, Christiana’s interest in writing poems and short stories, also at a very young age. Christiana has been a recipient of several youth awards for her writings and appeared on local television and in the local newspaper.
The author is especially proud to have had the opportunity to present the poem of her late father entitled, ‘Opportunities.’ She feels he possessed a remarkable gift that was probably only realized by those closest to him.
She is also proud to have written two poems in tribute to American poet, James Langston Hughes, one hundred years after the year of his birth. He is a writer that the author deeply admires.
