"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true."
--Richard Bach

Many teenagers feel that high school is one of the most difficult and confusing times of their life. Life rides a roller coaster as it hits its fantastic highs and then drops back down to its unwanted lows. This is natural; it happens to everyone. Unfortunately, many teenagers feel alone in the world. They wonder why they were punished and everyone else's life seems to be going so well.

The collection of poems in "You're not Alone" reflects the pain, confusion, love, hate, heartbreak, anxiety, and loneliness that all teenagers go through at one point and time. It reminds them that they are not rowing the boat by themselves but rather, that they have an entire crew rowing with them. They are all attempting to reach a like goal: To make it through their teenage years.

Their wish will come true.

It is for its fynbos – fine-leaved, shrub-like vegetation – that the southwestern and southern Cape has been named one of the world’s six plant kingdoms: The Cape floral kingdom. At less than 90 000 square kilometres, it is the smallest floral kingdom on earth. Yet it is home to 8 600 plant species, some 5 000 of which occur nowhere else in the world. Fynbos is a mixture of four plant types: Protea shrubs, heath-like ericas, reed-like restios and different bubous plants. The Cape floral kingdom contains 69 of the world’s 112 proteas, 526 of its 740 ericas and, among bubous plants, 96 of the world’s 160 gladiolus species. Table Mountain alone boasts almost 1 500 fynbos species. With Fynbos fairies, Antjie Krog and Fiona Moodie, both of whom regularly walk on the slopes of Table Mountain, pay homage to one of the natural wonders of the world. Inspired by Cicely Mary Barker’s A world of flower fairies, Antjie began the process by writing poems that each featured a plant and at least one imaginary little being. Fiona meticulously researched the features of each plant, insect and little animal depicted in these pages. The fairies and other imaginary beings in these pages are her own creations, but the flowers and creatures she copied from nature.

"Fear Not my dear, Fear not of meFear Not for fear shall not help theeThe time is short, my plans are madeYour casket shall be trimmed with jade."

Thus begins Aurore Leigh Barrett's poem, "Fear Not" - an homage to one of her favorite poets, Edgar Allan Poe. It masterfully combines the macabre with the humorous. This stellar work, which Poe, no doubt, would wish he had written, is just one of a few poems in this current collection written in his honor - and one of many poems you will find that ably represent Barrett's enormous talent.

This collection of poems and stories by Aurore Leigh Barrett invites you to step into the world of this creative artist, and sample the breadth and depth of her literary world. Rather than being an exhaustive representation of a solitary style or mood, this book is a buffet of delights as it takes you from the lows of her loneliness to the heights of her happiness - from the dark and scary side of her imagination to the forthright and intelligent adventures of her alter-ego, Holly Hedges Whistler.

Through it all, we share in her view of the world, and the way she makes the most of every day this life has to offer. In "Stardust," Barrett tells how she begins each day - throwing a spoonful of stardust into the wind. "The Stardust flies, the light sparkles, the grass begins to twinkle as the blades catch each falling 'star', and the flowers bow their heads as if to receive this glistening gift."

As Barrett lays bare her feelings, she tells us that writing is "a beautiful sweet torture of the soul." She tells us that "writing is the pain of pulling away precious bits of memory or time. It is the quickening of birth within the loins of creation. It is the delicious ecstasy of desire that only I can satisfy."

Welcome to her world. This all-too-brief collection of Aurore Leigh Barrett's writing will leave you hungry for more.
