Somebody Say “Amen !” When a poet speaks and you feel a trace of recognition, a kinship with submission, renewal with resolution, arousal with a grin. Somebody say “Amen!” to paths crossed, miles walked in those same worn shoes, to loves lost and found - differences that bring us together in search of oneness. Somebody say “Amen!” to the stress of more than one can handle; the serenity of simplicity, the joy of you and I. Spoken in free verse or rhyme; lyrical, vivid imagery, sonnets, dramatic monologues and beauty of the heart; reflections of Soul; the sounds, the feelings that stir emotions and lighten a load. When a poet speaks, Somebody say “Amen!” JB “Jim Boone, founder of the Texas Poetry Project, discovers the extraordinary that exists within the ordinary and passes it on to us with his own wry twists. From ‘Dialogue’ to ‘At The End Of The World,’ nothing escapes Jim’s poetic eye.” Ann Howells, editor Illia’s Honey, Dallas Poets Community “If my proof of life is a reflection of what I write, a learning and teaching experience in any way, then I am all I desire: To be relevant.” Jim Boone Out of the royalties received by the author, a major portion is pledged to the Oprah Angel Network. “Blessed Be Blessing” JB www.jimboone.com (TX Poetry Project +)
