POETRY WITHOUT A NET Journey is a book for anyone who wants to experience poetry in plain Englishno dictionary, thesaurus, or Shakespearean net required. Through the powerful inspiration of the spoken word, Gail Tennyson Hicks shares the most meaningful moments and thoughts from her life, addressing love, family, sensuality, relationships, faith, and self-esteem. Her poems are beautifully written stories and expressions of honesty and hope that speak to the heart and touch the soul. The following is an excerpt from the poem, Yellow Rose, which describes in vivid detail a grandmothers loving reaction to her new grandson: Cradled in his grandmothers arms the baby slept calmed by her voice soothed by her touch secured by her love As she held her first grandson her mind slipped into the past remembering when she once held her own son, who looked just like this one..." This book was a twenty-year, emotionally purging experience for me, says Gail, a native of San Francisco. My hope is that after reading about my journeys, people will be encouraged to make the most of their own. This is Gails debut book.
