Ed, you've captured the essence of the many footprints we leave
along this journey of life, some that seem to take us down paths
that find us standing alone with burdens and loved ones we lost and
grief, loneliness, pain we've encountered along the way, and yet
when moments of recollection come especially occasions such as this
as you themed your poem with, the lost love recultivated and to
cherish for life... that embraces us for all that has made us who
we are, it makes each footstep seem as if it was taking us into a
place of destiny that makes every moment worth it all. Beautifully
scripted, Ed so realistic when it was worded by a pro like you...
and your closing verses lend wings of inspiration that lift the
heart and soul into higher realms. Wonderful poetry takes on
another realm when the closing is beautiful and touches the heart
in a soft linger, exactly what this does...
"pee-a boo into a tinheart" is a collection of poetry written by
carol rose, a biopolar woman who has survived her affliction and
attributes writing as one of the main reasons she has been able to
do so. As well as the excellent care of her doctors and the loving
and unfailing support of her husband. carol, who is very sensitive
to the color blue, as it disturbs her, and who really has to want
to make a point, in order for her to use capital letters, is a very
brave soul who is at the same time, very reclusive, prone to
extreme emotional swings, and one of the sweetest people you will
ever meet in your life. extremely talented as a poet and artist and
photographer, she however, writes how she is most comfortable.
meaning she spells words the way they sound to her and she
articulates her thoughts without care as to how gramatically
correct they are. to correct them would be to her, something very
hurtful that truly upsets her, and as her publisher and editor,
i've had to dip into my reserves of patience time and time again as
she is a very fragile spirit, tender and loving and caring and all
things sweet. working with her has made me a better man, a better
person, and a better human being. in a world filled seemingly more
every day, with hate and violence and the unspeakable, we could all
learn valuable lessons from someone who truly does wear her heart
on her sleeve. i would not hesitate to work with carol again, and
have already insured in some way shape or form i will be working
with her and i am forever grateful for her allowing me to take a
peek, into her tinheart, which isn't really tin at all, but would
best be described, as a heart of pure gold. respectfully, chase von
editor andpublisher of this brave and immensely touching creation
by author, artist and photographer and bipolar woman.

Each of us is like a box of chocolates. I see many individual's
boxes are slightly ajar, presenting only pieces they deem most
worthy. Webster's Dictionary defines vanity as "excessive
appreciation of one's own worth or virtue." While vanity allows us
to expose only our most desirable characteristics to others, I
believe those with nearly closed boxes usually are the least
appreciative of their true worth. True vanity comes when we can
expose proudly ALL pieces, even those hidden in dark corners. Look
inside, beyond the cover of false vanity, as I present my truths in
raw, emotionally driven words, finding complete self-acceptance of
all my pieces as I finally gain true vanity an excessive
appreciation of my own worth. Herein are ALL my pieces in an open
box exposed truths within emotionally driven words created by my
heart, soul and mind. With the acceptance and ability to tell of
all my pieces pain, loss, love, fate, hope and to proudly express
my sexual thoughts, without the worry of society's backlash a final
excessive appreciation of my own worth and virtue. I am now truly
vain. My box is open. Sample me, as you desire.

Reviews: "Being a great believer in the importance of reaching for
dreams and harnessing passions to build a good life, I was
delighted to read Betty Dravis's and Chase Von's book of
enlightening and uplifting interviews. Particularly in light of the
state of the world, I thought it was brilliant of these two
celebrated writers to share these interviews in a book about people
who have reached out and up in their lives to achieve the
impossible. Bravo, Betty and Chase " - Susaye Greene, legendary
singer with The Supremes "Since the authors are of different
generations, Dream Reachers II is a complex, fascinating mix of
inspiring high achievers, similar in tone to the first book. If you
expect hard-edged journalism and tough questions posed by the
interviewers/authors, this would not be the book for you. But the
gentler approach provides some revealing views of those being
interviewed. Just as the artists interviewed in this book are an
exotic blend, so are Betty Dravis and Chase Von. The wedding of
these interviews and reflections works nicely." - Steven Peterson,
Director, School of Public Affairs at Penn State, Harrisburg, PA
