Books with title Poetry In Motion

The Greek word for “poet” is poiētēs, meaning “to make.” Creating poetry involves describing the human condition or emotions through the combination of ordinary words using a rhyme scheme, meter or rhythm, and word sounds. Ms. Click’s poetry addresses themes of faith, friendship, grief, and love from her unique lived experience.Dr. Michael J. Simon, President of Angelina CollegeAuthor Amanda “Mandy” Gail Click has been gifted with a stream of consciousness that allowed her to express her feelings through writing poetry. She has found poetry to be cathartic, and in the process, has become much more outgoing, confident and empowered. A lovely book of poems written from the heart with beautiful, full color illustrations for each and every page – uniquely created by artists from all around the world including Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Philippines, Serbia and the United States. The poems are a direct, honest reflection of the author’s impressions of the world around herMandy created this book with her friends in mind – if they are not able to read the words, then she knows they will enjoy looking at the pictures. Her poems are inspirational and include the subject matters of camp, church, colors, family, friends, grief, holidays, love, nature, and weather.Mandy is donating the net proceeds from the sale of this book to benefit the East Texas Fun Bunch Scholarship Fund at Angelina College in Lufkin, Texas. The fund was established to support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and related conditions which includes providing instruction by teachers from Angelina College in areas such as music, singing, fine arts, reading, American Sign Language, culinary arts, and technology. The fund also benefits adults who live in retirement/nursing home facilities. We can all find inspiration from Mandy. She started her journey in shyness and emerged into a NEW life filled with friends and new experiences– attending “live” fine arts performances, dinners and shows, performing in front of people at a concert with boom whackers, hand bells, and xylophones, and becoming a best-selling author on Amazon
