New Kid on the Block
Hi Folks,
As you may or may not know I also have my own publishing company. I’ve been pretty quiet about it up till this point. Why? Because I’ve been doing my research and learning the business and deciding whether I wanted to publish the works of others or keep it strictly a family oriented enterprise.
Last fall via my Sunday Bible School class, I had the fortune to meet a talented poet. She’s been doing shows and writing since 1999. I met with her and read some of her poetry and felt moved to help her make her dream come true. So around Christmas time you will see the birth of Incremental Stages - Karen’s labor of love.
I’ve also created a blog for her, so I’m sure she’d love it if you would stop by and read two of the sample poems provided and give her some love (feedback): http://karenbaker.atwc1.com
Now here is a quick poem (and I use the term loosely) that gives you a birds eye view of what Divine Truth Press is about:
There’s a new kid on the block
with a voice that really rocks
she’s opening closets
and airing out laundry
Me oh my … now there’s the quandry:
Is that relief you feel?
or ever present shame.
because the thing she mentions
is calling out your name
Daring you to work past
the bubble of discomfort
the habitual reticence
that is your very essence.
But wait, she says
Please don’t you worry
That discomfort you feel
is only temporary
But the end result
will be oh so rewarding
So embrace disclosure
Battle with forgiveness
As you taste the ambrosia
the elixir of healing
dispensed from the vine
