Peace on the Journey: Poems
The poems of my book Peace on the Journey explore the theme of renewal in the face of adversity.
The book is available at Amazon.
About Me ¿Quién Soy?
- Judith Mercado
- My writing frequently explores multicultural themes. Born in Puerto Rico, I moved at a young age to the U.S., where my parents became Pentecostal ministers. Early immersion in Latino and religious cultures preceded later experiences as a businesswoman, a White House Fellow, and life aboard a trawler cruising from Martha’s Vineyard to South America. These sometimes incompatible worlds have given me a respectful outlook toward differing points of view. My short stories, poems, and essays reflect my own inclusive, yet sharply defined, journey across cultural and socioeconomic boundaries. I recently published Peace on the Journey, a poetry collection which explores the theme of renewal in the face of adversity. @peaceonjourney

They do, don't they? Or should I say, we do, don't we? :-)
Greetings from London.
Thank you, Cuban. From all I've read, you sound like a marvelous father.
They do (as you said) and we dp (as Cuban said). Mine, long gone now, was a writer and I still here his advice.

Oops, that should be WE DO
Malcolm,
It is an interesting influence to consider, not just for its content but also for its longevity. My father was a writer too and I always thought we had little in common (he was a minister after all) but it turns out that his was a lasting influence since I have turned into a writer too. Different, to be sure, but still a writer.
Thanks for your thoughts on Conrad. And I'm glad to see that we share the same view about 'Heart of Darkness'. I don't like Conrad. I read 'Heart of Darknes' twice, the second time to see if I 'got' it but no. His style is the opposite of what I expect of a novel. But the fact he was Polish and wrote in a different lexicon is inspiring to an immigrant like who's still trying to crack this language we insist on calling English and which I call The Hybrid. :-)
Greetings from london.
Yes, Cuban, Conrad's ability to make that transition at such a high level of skill is truly remarkable.
