For Partricia, poetry allows the imagination to guide the hand in writing down the voice from within. Poetry is a safe flight into her darkest moments and other forbidden territories with her at the controls. By using words on paper, they become puppets. Through these puppets, she can express any deep-rooted fear or desire without submitting herself to embarrassing conversation. She prefers to get things down on paper as a catharsis for the soul. These emotions and ideas, whether they are dark or light are beautified and the afterimages that they produce are rewarding and uplifting. Please share her experience and take a journey to where the intelligence of the heart can contemplate the complexities of the mind.

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF MY MIND
by Patricia Carragon
(Rogue Scholars Press 2005
$15
"Her poems are private rites/rituals of passage that never cease questions or delving into the dark, forbidding surface of things."
--Bruce Weber, Author of POETIC JUSTICE
"It's good to see her high-powered, hard-edged poems collected in book form."
--Thaddeus Rudkowski, Author of TETCHED and ROUGHHOUSE

Because Sophia has made false claims! She said she won the case and that turned out to be a flat out lie! Why on earth would be you surprised she is now being scrutinized after misleading many?
you believe it because they say so? LOL! Name me ONE TIME where Sophia ever produced a court document about her case.
Well, that's what THEY are telling us, so we must BELIEVE it! We know this is the whole story, because THEY told us so, why would THEY lie? All of the information received on this case are from 100% accurate, objective and reliable sources, our very…
