Tennessee poet, Wesley D. Sims, <\/a>described\u00a0 Star Signs: New and Selected Poems,<\/em> in the Book’s introduction:<\/p>\n

Lynda Lambert covers a wide terrain of subjects and topics in this new audiobook, from lights to legends to seasons, treating us to images and metaphors about plants, people, and weather. She opens this large collection with the title poem, “Star Signs”, which walks us through the alphabet as it digs through thoughts, emotions and observations, \u201cUsing star signs to map out new terrain\u201d.<\/p>\n

Throughout this audiobook of poems, these gems of poetic creation shimmer like beads on her fabric art, like bold brush strokes of color on her paintings, and reflect light like the gemstones on her prize – winning piece of mixed-media fiber artwork. It seems this entire collection is like a multifaceted mural.<\/p>\n

Her attentiveness to nature and strong reflections from memory have woven from a collage of remnants a beautiful tapestry for us. It offers a wonderful feast for the eyes and the mind.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(Wesley D. Sims, author of Taste of Change<\/span>)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A Poem from this book:<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n
\n
“Painting in Mid\u2013October”<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Autumn\u2019s morning light revealed changes<\/p>\n

Undermined the scarlet-red palette<\/p>\n

Taking center stage on the painting<\/p>\n

Undulating rain cast gray-violet hues<\/p>\n

Misty diffusion brought a new perspective<\/p>\n

Not anticipated yesterday<\/p>\n

Aroused the softened brushstrokes<\/p>\n

Layered over the primed canvas.<\/p>\n

Dying is a careful arrangement<\/p>\n

A graceful staged performance<\/p>\n

Yellow leaves are faithful dancers<\/p>\n

Spectacular choreography!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why would I buy this book?<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

This is the perfect time to buy some new books and to snuggle up in a quiet place to read.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget Books are great gifts that keep on giving.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

My Books are missionaries!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

They travel to places we cannot go, and they minister to people we will never meet in person.\u00a0 We never know the distance a book will travel or the many people who will read it.\u00a0 A gift of a book is a gift of generosity and faith.<\/p>\n

*NOTE:<\/p>\n

Final Thoughts from Lynda:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I\u00a0 typically read and share books that are personal and witness to living a life\u00a0 that is positive, uplifting and faith-based. I affirm a biblical worldview of eternal life. I recommend books with confidence that you will enjoy reading. I seldom write a book review, however, in this blog I share my own writings and on occasion, writings by others that I appreciate and can recommend with confidence.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I would love to hear from you.<\/p>\n

If you purchased and read my book, please consider writing\u00a0 a short reflection on it – a sentence or two is adequate. It means a LOT tome to know that you found my writings or my books of value in some way.<\/p>\n
