Turning Pages

Book excerpt: Poetry is a powerful way to use words for self-expression and exploration. Through poetry, deep emotions can be brought to the surface and expressed. This collection is as much about selfawareness as it is about the perfect delight of being in love. It speaks of different paths on the journey of discovery through the corridors and dimensions of love. Turning Pages: A Poet’s Reflections captures the intricate raw power of words and the subtlety of their influence. While most of the poetry can be classified as free verse, there are standard poetic forms scattered throughout—from poems that lean strongly toward sonnets to others that embody the delightful lantern form in appearance. The words of Dave Penn plunge the heart and mind into the imagery and landscape of human life. Come enjoy an immersive experience, where you will find yourself reflected in many of the creative expressions. These words capture some of the realities, fantasies, and passions of relationships while warming your heart and lifting your spirit.
