A collection of some 70 poems that get to the bottom of matters dealing with emotions and qualities-simple and complex. The author seeks to mentally and emotionally connect with the reader's own mind set about family, men, women, God, our planet, decisions made with their life now that can change their own future course for the better or the worse. In his writings, Robert doesn't spare himself of his own faults which are poetically mentioned in some of his poems. He highlights his failures along with the successes to strike a much needed balance so as to give his readers an honest portrait of the man many may come to know thru this book. Many will find a poem or more that will make an instant connection with the author. Some of the poems may, otherwise, be more complex for others. The hope is that all who embrace the collection of poems will find peace in their hearts with who they are now and know truly what may need to change in order to increase their personal satisfaction in life and truly be of more benefit to others.

When a miracle occurs, it would be foolish to ignore its source. Charlene Hatton’s “Poetic Expressions” is a collection of poems, which serve as a way of giving thanks to the Lord for coming to her when she needed him the most. From her suffering came great relief, and through this miracle, we now have a wonderful collection of devotional poetry to comfort others who are waiting for their miracles, and to remind those who have been blessed to thank God for His kindness. Encapsulating the Christian tenants of charity, love, and kindness to others, each stanza of her spiritual poems in “Poetic Expressions” offers a beautiful prayer to the God so many people turn from when they are down, and lose sight of when they are doing well.

These poetic expressions are inspired to inspire and to inform. They come from the lives and experiences of various persons in a variety of situations. They were challenging experiences, joyful and trusting experiences that summoned faith, trust, and faithfulness. Moods and feelings open the heart and arrest the mind and soul. Joy, sorrow, thoughts of love and kindness are real and precious. Emotions run the gamut and meet you on your journey as you travel. You are invited to relate as each core of expressions grab you where you are on the road you’re traveling. You might cry, laugh, or even shout out loud when you really connect with the person inside. Be prepared and willing to go where you need to go at the very moment of your need, and your growth will be validated, reliable and satisfying so that you will pass it on in and through your life to shed light and insight on the journey of others who are traveling.

A world ever more extensively interlinked is calling out for serving human interests broader and more compelling than those inspiring our technological welfare. The interface between cultures – at the moment especially between the Occident and Islam – presents challenges to mutual understandings and calls for restoring the resources of our human beings forgotten in the struggle of competition and rivalry at the vital spheres of existence. In the evolutionary progress of the living beings the strictly vital concerns, emotions, attributes become sublimed and elevated to the spiritual sphere at which human beings encounter each other and share. Studies presented here bring forth sublimity, generosity, forgiveness, beauty, and are exalting the quest after ciphers and symbols which lead to our sharing the common deepest stream of fraternal reality.

Poetic Expressions Volume II is an addition to Poetic Expressions; including new poems of different styles of writing.

Daily, he is reaching out to his local community and library (Carnegie Stout Public Library) to recruit others who have a passion and burden for poetry; as well as new-beginning poets.

Poetic Expressions Vol. IV is a book of poetry centered among the theme of life struggles, such as addictions, homelessness, and loneliness.

His goals for 2013 are included in the final remarks and he hopes to attend the AWP Writer's Conference in Boston, MA in March 2013. One the lyrical poems included in this book, O' Mississippi!, is now being played throughout the entire state of Mississippi.
