{"product_id":"poetic-transitions-winter-9781438990064","title":"Poetic Transitions: Winter","description":"Poetic Transitions (Winter) is the first of a four-part series. It has been labeled after the seasons of the year. Each book personifies characteristics of that season. During the \"winter\" season, a lot of changes happened in my life. My biological mom was killed when I was 5 years old. Normally, this is the age that children begin Pre-K or Kindergarten and are able to look forward to learning. It is often a part of life for most to be enthusiastic about. As if that weren't enough, my great aunt that was already rearing me as her own prior to my mom's death, passed away when I was 14 years of age. Again, this was an age that the average teenager started high school, looked forward to participating in extracurricular events at school, prom, and graduation. This is a vital age, all of your hopes have begun to form and your dreams are just now taking place. But, for me, this was the darkest era of my life. Important relationships were severed. I was detached from all nourishment of love. Most of my other family members passed away during my high school years. The family members that I did not lose to death, had already chosen to move away prior to my birth, with the intention of not keeping in contact or returning. The characteristics of winter are cold, dreary, and dark weather, conditions that would require individuals to stay inside unless they absolutely must come out. Considering what I had gone through, and how it made me feel, I felt the poetry written during that era should be contained in the first part of the collection, the winter season. Look forward to the second part of the collection, to follow this one soon, Poetic Transitions (Fall) season.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adesha L.
