    The wedding.  The legal and public union of two people. 
     
    A very simple concept and one we all, at one time or another, have thought about. 
     
    In life that’s the easy part.   
     
    The difficult part is the ceremony, not for the dewy-eyed couple, family and friends but for those who are now called to stand and offer words of tribute, of jest and of satisfaction with the couple, on their past lives and future happiness.   
     
    Even the most socially hardened are certain nerves will fray and know the importance of confidence and delivery at this unique moment.  Expectations are high and a badly punch-lined joke or story has the glaring eyes of the room upon you.  
     
    In this volume our classic and well-loved poets take the work out of words and offer up lines and verse of unrivalled beauty, telling knowledge and the comfort of love.  Elizabeth Barrett Browning, W B Yeats, Rainer Maria Rilke, Khalil Gibran are but a handful of the poets who will speak for you and on behalf of us all.

    I am madness. 
    Journey into the shadows of the soul, where darkness and light intertwine in a dance of raw emotion and profound revelation. Divine Madness: A Dark Poetry Collection beckons you into the depths of the human psyche, inviting you to explore the turbulent landscapes of the mind and embrace the haunting allure of poetic madness.

    The collection of Kipling poetry, performed by Mark Redfield, with music by Jennifer Rouse, are taken mostly from “Barrack-Room Ballads”. The poems mostly dramatize the concerns, yearnings, emotions, and thoughts of British soldiers at war, stationed in India, or at home - now forgotten by their fellow countrymen. Popular favorites in this recording eloquently and powerfully read by Mark Redfield include “Gunga Din”, “The Last of the Light Brigade”, and “If”.    Copyright Ⓒ Mark Redfield/Mark Redfield Studios.

    Interracial families are more common than ever, yet their unique stories often remain untold. This transparent poetry collection offers a deeply personal glimpse into my journey—growing up in a predominantly single-race family, navigating the intricacies of interracial relationships, and raising biracial children. Through honest and unfiltered reflections, I delve into the joys, challenges, and struggles in building an interracial family, while also celebrating the love, cultural connection and sense of belonging that makes this journey meaningful. 
    What makes this audiobook truly special is the contribution of my daughter, Summer Renee Crowell, who courageously shares her perspective being a biracial child in a beautifully written chapter. There are a few collaborative poems woven throughout the collection adding even more depth and richness to this exploration of love and realities we experienced together. 
    Take a moment to step into our world. Listen, and discover our journey through diversity, resilience, and the beauty of growing together as one. 
    Look for all of Lisa Renee Hutchins books.
