My Pen Speaks is a collection of rhythmic thoughts, observations and life experiences brought together in a powerful reflection of free-form poetry. Resonating with power, passion and conviction, these poems show Patrice Watley-Williams' focus on paying it forward. We often think that the only ones that need us are the less fortunate. This is far from the truth. With success comes negativity and hardship, which can turn the triumph to loneliness and often misery. The poet welcomes the reader to share the joys as well as the hardships of her life, to learn to love and embrace the trials as well as successes, and to realize that no matter how dark things may seem, we are never alone in our experiences. "In a world filled with struggles, your book gives people a chance to step away from their own challenges and remember that life can be simple and good. People who read it will not only celebrate...but may become motivated to follow a few dreams of their own." Silas "SiMan Baby" Alexander, Radio Personality "Real, relevant and refreshing are just some of the thoughts that come to mind when describing My Pen Speaks. This book is without question some of author Patrice Watley-Williams' best work to date and displays her special gift of communicating her thoughts and experiences to attract a diverse audience.
