PASCO, Wash., Sept. 24, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- From a poet whose passion in life, love, and everything else is overflowing, comes another anthology of thoughtful, honest, and emotive poems that will take readers on an engaging lyrical journey. Poet-author Enriqueta Cartagena Mayuga, M.D. shares her thoughts, sentiments, and musings in her fourth book of poetry, Splintered Dreams, Blades of Truth, Shafts of Sunlight.
Dr. Mayuga's latest poetic contribution is simply a splendid work -- a creation of a genius. It is an autobiography in poetry, written at a mature age; it is unlike any autobiography with dates, places, events, and achievements, because it is a mirror story of the inner life, of the soul. There is charm and pathos, vitality and sobriety, tears and laughter, and a pervading sense of peace. Splintered Dreams, Blades of Truth, Shafts of Sunlight reflects the poet's life, bears witness to her strengths, trials, emotions, and thoughts. This woman's poetic memoir will resonate the thoughts and feelings of all women and men, making it a quiet voice of humanity.
This poetry collection is for all who have burrowed through life with their own schema while facing its vicissitudes, and for all who have found redemption and completion in the strength of their faith and in the saliency of their lives. These verses are all about coming to grips with life and its imperfections -- minus the failed hopes, mortgaged dreams, and demeaning rejections, because she has conceded these unfinished quests and unrealized yearnings to the Heavenly Arbiter, and no moans and groans of the unengaged life and unresolved social justice, because she hasn't found a call or need for retribution.
