Poetry is a source of transformation, because in its simplicity, it allows space for recollection and reflection. It leads us to a place of stillness and truth, where the heart has an opportunity to speak. A word or a phrase graces us, awareness grows, and suddenly we realize that the change we yearn for is possible.

This comprehensive collection is a rhythmic and insightful view of the challenges facing a woman in her mid-twenties. Maria is one individual but speaks for many as she battles low self-esteem and poor health, and unravels the web of conditioning placed upon her by her birth, religious upbringing and former marriage. She seeks true love and happiness full throttle and when she discovers her own divinity, her life begins to change.

The New Day has arrived for Maria and it has arrived for you. A book that can be read many times over. Maria's rhymes are powerful, prophetic and true. She shares her deep inner knowings and emotions. Her journey comes alive through The New Day.
