There's always more than one way of doing things. Sometimes you have to apply a few filters to screen out what's holding you back. Sharing who you are with the world is what your art is about. Take flight and scan the horizon.We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. from Dead Poet's SocietyPaintings in Words is a book of poetry by Scottish artist and author, Jenni Munn, currently living in Western Australia. The poems are based on the authors observations of the world around her and have been created over the last 10 years, and compliled into this book. They capture some of the darkest, brightest, deepest and most passionate moments that life offers. The book offers poetry for both adults and children. All of the artwork in the book is original and has also been created by Jenni. Out of the quarrel with others we make rhetoric; out of the quarrel with ourselves we make poetry. ~W.B.
