About the Author Connie Jordan, author of “The World, Through a Poet's Eyes,” now releasing this second book of poems designed to show the internal damage done through domestic violence. We all struggle with obstacles in our lives. Sometimes they weigh us down, but the key is to always land on a positive space in the aftermath of these occurrences, to begin the journey forward on that positive, for the present is only temporary, the past gives you an edge, in review, yet it resides behind us, but the future is a continuum of our day-to-day existence; let's face it with understanding in what took us to this crisis.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Heartfelt and hugely courageous! By David Russell David RussellConnie’s work, as a whole, makes a fusion of the personal and political, with total courage. This theme is set with the opener, A Real Look at Bullying which adds the extra dimension of concern for innocent children whose future is held in callous disregard by those in power at all levels. Attitudes Reflected is properly critical of the uncritical masses, naively accepting the stereotypes imposed on them by their oppressors.In her attitude to personal relationships, Connie is fiercely individualistic: “I ascend and leave behind the negativity you endorsed in the course of our entwinement.” In poems such a Determined to Arrive, there is a strong element of self-determination and self-discipline. Everlasting Love and Forty Years Later venerate enduring relationships in a callous world opposed to them in so many ways. Forward Motion gives a cosmic background to the struggles of humanity. Going Into the 21st Century Grateful relates those feelings to a benign, elemental God. Hands that Hurt confronts the issue of domestic violence. Hidden Inside proclaims the true courage of compassion, while Hindsight indicts hypocrisy and deception. How Are You Living – a Christian guide to self-direction and self-discipline. Humankind – Be Both: emphatically true – be human, and be kind. I Remember When expresses a certain degree of nostalgia for a past in which there seemed to be far greater integrity and optimism. This may be illusory – looking at the past through rose-tinted glasses – but not necessarily so, as mercenary brutality and cheap hedonism seem painfully rampant, with accelerating intensity.If I Died Tomorrow – the spirit of love should transcend earthly mortality. Illusions is about being oneself, not accepting the illusory images imposed by a blind and arbitrary society. Is This Love and Jealousy show the best of ideals and intentions going bad. Loss of Innocence shows the double-edged nature of leaving the shelter of parental control to be buffeted by the real world. People appeals against egotism, for altruism; this is an uphill struggle: “to see the beauty disguised amongst the ugly in our lives.” Proverbs 4:7 shows Connie to be a committed Christian, but not an uncritical one: one must avoid snap judgements, take time and care in assessing, and relating to, others’ characters. The Meaning of Rainbows is a charming paraphrase of the legend of Noah’s Ark. Reason plots the complex relationships between the limitations of reason and the superseding of reason by blind faith. Rebirth – invigoration and rejuvenation via a vital new relationship. Reflections on Why I Stayed – much effort and self-sacrifice was devoted to a worldly partner, to reach the final realisation that true bonding must be heavenly, come from above. Remembering – flashback to euphoric times of younger love. Serenity Prayer strikes a balance between stoicism and optimism: “the best that you can do is accept what is and change what can be changed”. There is the additional bonus of a few perceptive people who can see through the facades of deceit. Spring is a straightforward celebration of that invigorating, rejuvenating season. Summer Time – the Intro seems to retract from spring’s optimism, but ebullience returns in the poem itself. Sunrise is superlatively affirmative: one should always have the tenacity to persevere to the next day, and fuse reverie with reality: “Hold on to your dreams and see what the new day brings,Sex With a Mission describes an extended casual encounter, with powerful chemistry but no underlying substance. The couple quickly tired of each other, and a year later her partner died of AIDS. Just before his departure, he revealed in a letter that they had had an encounter 5 years previously, and said that he had introduced her to the worlds of AIDS – barbed incident indeed! She says at the end that this was fiction – a fiction which in no way detracts from its validity as a cautionary tale. Sleep – happy, comforting slumbers of a couple at ease with each other. Soon is a reproach to a possible partner who made empty innuendos that he would be making approaches involving commitment. She was disappointed, and speaks strongly against hypocrisy. Proposal, by way of contrast, celebrates fiery euphoria which culminated in commitment. Fine nuance here, where she felt reluctant to make the proposal because that would expose her vulnerability. The Ride of a Lifetime concerns being ‘on wings of love’; very sound metaphor of weathering heavy storms in the amorous stratosphere, and proving durability. Violence in the Home – an all-too-common scenario of a relationship, warm, vital and loving, which goes bad. The situation is even more tragic because she had known of his violent past, and felt she could reform him. Waiting for Prince Charming is the testimony of someone who had ideals, then suffered the bitterest experience, then accepted the value of reverie for its own sake, not really wishing it to ‘come true’: “I have decided to go solitary, while leaving the door open for any possibilities, that will lead me to, My prince charming.”The Bad News Knock is the most articulated statement in this collection, depicting the desolation felt about a loved one killed in a war. The grief is intuitively attuned to the intensity of the conflict in which the tragedy took place, and of the ferocity of the elements which seem to run in parallel to human conflict. The Game – life is indeed a complex game but, mercifully, different people play it by different rules; the rules of deceit tend to predominate; but some honest voices speak up, to leave visible beacons of hope. The Lines That Inhibit are boundary lines, drawn by bureaucracy, and prejudice, to define and govern humanity; they can be as oppressive as they are helpful.Winning, the concluding poem, is another self-direction, self-discipline tract, an utterly valid appeal to ‘stay grounded’.

I liked this short collection of prose poetry By Lazarian Wordsmith I liked this short collection of prose poetry, because like good wine, on each welcomed page, each new thought or message presented to me: I could savour the taste of Connie's writing. Indeed maybe even her life.I loved the background of serenity each page background suggested to my mind: even those pages with writing that challenged my thinking.This book, and it's prose can not be scanned. It is to be savoured, tasted, breathed over and then inhaled deep into your consciousness, where, if you are a poet like me, similar thoughts and experiences hide. Hide? Yes hide, because sometimes we keep feelings, and experiences locked away. This book presents the reader with a key to thoughts, experiences, and in some way childhood, adolescence and adulthood.I always thought that only fantasy fairy treasure hid at the end of the rainbow. This collection presents that treasure on almost every page.Imbibe well and enjoy the writing as I did.Thank you Connie for the freshness you gave with real stimulating prose poetry.

Turfa This collection of prose poetry spans the life of a thoughtful, caring, and faithful person who record both good and bad in her life. She refuses to fall prey to the hate and bad feelings around her. Several poems stand out to me: “Forty Years After” ”How Are You Living”, and “I Remember When”. The latter especially make the point that not everything that has happened over the last few decades has been progress. Although the poems read quickly, they are thought-provoking and will give readers reason to ponder for themselves. :
