Cresting Hillsides
Cresting Hillsides is a collection of 45 poems about how each chapter in your life is a journey. This poetry collection is about a beautiful hillside: one of adventure, romance, and reflection. It is about finding a new perspective. Realizing some hillsides will never be climbed again but that doesn't mean they can't be remembered with wonder. This hillside is about seeking the warmth of summer in the middle of winter. This hillside is about how beautiful and fleeting a sunrise is, just like the people who glide in and out of your life. This hillside is only a chapter of the story, but cherished nonetheless. The book contains whimsical, hand-drawn illustrations.

It's Just a Heart
When should you give your heart to someone? Who should you give it to? And what if it doesn't work out?Our hearts find love seemingly by chance. We hold onto love, and we leave love on purpose. Learning to trust your heart can be confusing and scary, leaving you reluctant to even try.This beautifully written and illustrated parable prepares you to navigate the many levels of love, and it reminds you to be thankful for the heart you have, no matter where you've carried it...or where it has carried you. kathykayonline.com

Imperfect II
Being human means to sometimes lose perspective. We focus on the one negative comment we received instead of the ten positive ones. We think we're the only person who has had something really embarrassing happen to us, or that a problem we're having will go on forever. When we've lost sight of the big picture, how can we help ourselves put things back in perspective? Poetry can lend a hand.

The Sonnets
Shakespeare's sonnets are poems that William Shakespeare wrote on a variety of themes. When discussing or referring to Shakespeare's sonnets, it is almost always a reference to the 154 sonnets that were first published all together in a quarto in 1609 however, there are six additional sonnets that Shakespeare wrote and included in the plays Romeo and Juliet, Henry V and Love's Labour's Lost. There is a partial sonnet found in the play Edward III.Shakespeare's sonnets are considered a continuation of the sonnet tradition that swept through the Renaissance from Petrarch in 14th-century Italy and was finally introduced in 16th-century England by Thomas Wyatt and was given its rhyming meter and division into quatrains by Henry Howard. With few exceptions, Shakespeare's sonnets observe the stylistic form of the English sonnet-the rhyme scheme, the 14 lines, and the meter. But Shakespeare's sonnets introduce such significant departures of content that they seem to be rebelling against well-worn 200-year-old traditions.Instead of expressing worshipful love for an almost goddess-like yet unobtainable female love-object, as Petrarch, Dante, and Philip Sidney had done, Shakespeare introduces a young man. He also introduces the Dark Lady, who is no goddess. Shakespeare explores themes such as lust, homoeroticism, misogyny, infidelity, and acrimony in ways that may challenge, but which also open new terrain for the sonnet form.The primary source of Shakespeare's sonnets is a quarto published in 1609 titled Shake-speare's Sonnets. It contains 154 sonnets, which are followed by the long poem "A Lover's Complaint". Thirteen copies of the quarto have survived in fairly good shape from the 1609 edition, which is the only edition there were no other printings. There is evidence in a note on the title page of one of the extant copies that the great Elizabethan actor Edward Alleyn bought a copy in June 1609 for one shilling.The sonnets cover such themes as the passage of time, love, infidelity, jealousy, beauty and mortality. The first 126 are addressed to a young man the last 28 are either addressed to, or refer to a woman. (Sonnets 138 and 144 had previously been published in the 1599 miscellany The Passionate Pilgrim).The title of the quarto, Shakespeare's Sonnets, is consistent with the entry in the Stationer Register. The title appears in upper case lettering on the title page, where it is followed by the phrase "Neuer before Imprinted".

Hiddled
'Hiddled' is a collection of 100 poems organized around a single theme: love. The title in itself evokes variety of emotions. When we are hiddled, putting our unheard sentiments into words to somehow fill the void in our hearts is our last resort. We all define and feel love differently; hence I took the opportunity to compose my poems from varying perspectives to make them more relatable. Most of us my age, if not all, went through the stages of admiration, especially when we are adulting. At some point, whether around the sphere of reality or within the realm of fiction, we have already expressed our vulnerabilities to a certain person- sometimes, too much to the point of being hiddled. If you are one of us, this book is perfect for you.

The compiler gives first place to "Agincourt" by Shakespeare, thinking "that a book of heroism could have no better starting-point than that heroic pair of names," and closes with "The Flag of England" by Kipling, fitting bookends for this fine anthology. In between are 124 other poems by 57 other poets with only Milton, Burns, Wordsworth, Scott, Byron, Macaulay, Longfellow, Whitman, Arnold, and Swinburne represented by three or more poems. The poems of each poet are grouped together, with ordering of poets by birthdate. A section of ballads is included, as a transition between the older poets and the newer ones.

Mirror, Mirror
When spiritual mirrors tell the truth, we sometimes take a look and, despite reality, walk away satisfied, boldly convincing ourselves that what we saw was a reflection of pure perfection. To appease our spiritual conscience, we then find ourselves as a people who would rather look into a spiritual mirror, simply concluding the reflection to be an acceptable image meeting, never superseding, either our own standards or the demands of this world around us. Eventually, we uncomfortably just become "all right" with our spiritual mirror reflection, convincing ourselves that true change is impossible. We fail to realize that Satan desires for us to become so familiar with the reflection of wickedness daily seen in that spiritual mirror that we never surrender wholeheartedly to God. We must grow to a place where we are ready to allow the Lord to make us all over again...into a godly image...into a reflection of His righteousness. The poetic words in this book will take all readers on a spiritual journey of self-discovery, looking into a spiritual mirror, embracing reality, and arriving at a place of total surrender to a spiritual transformation. As we become completely honest with the reality that we see, we then posture ourselves for a change, a makeover that can only come from God. Let us look into this spiritual mirror together. May God open our eyes that we may see.
