Birthright

Poems for the Journey

By: Nina Bingham

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The author 's confessional style shines through in this brief collection which begins with a tribute to the playwright and poet, W. B. Yeats. She describes this collection as a mosaic fashioned of many topics which contains a subliminal message: "It is my birthright to strive for an uncommon existence." And just what defines an “uncommon existence?” the author asks. "I propose that it is a life in the arts." The introduction shares insight into what makes an artist special; what drives them, and why society should honor the poets, writers, musicians, and other artists among us which make us "more human." She utilizes traditional, and free poetic forms in a reflection of life that will make you pause and contemplate. A poetic reflection that is a breath of fresh air.
