Bøger af Judy Hood

I believe it is possible-in fact, it is highly likely-that the reader will lose herself in these rare and exquisite poems, where we are seduced by hue and honey...stars flung, comets crashing...where morning is waiting just outside the door. For Judy Hood's debut poetry collection, to live in this world, glows brilliant with hope and the sustenance of guava, mango, tamarind, and Florida Florida Florida in all its inland glut and glory, its frangipani gardens, baby palms, and avocado groves, the way everything springs abundant even now, in this pandemic time when we need it most. I've read Hood's words over and over, on the way to, coming from, and I've felt the honesty in them along with their lush and lyrical beauty and the comfort they so generously give. They engage me on a cellular level. I feel heard.-Maureen Seaton, author of UnderseaJudy Hood crafts these marvelous poems with a gardener's patience and loving attention. Teeming with frangipani, poinciana and tamarind, the lush landscape of these poems renews my belief that it is indeed a miracle to live in this world.-Mia Leonin, Fable of the Pack-Saddle Child. Lovely, lyrical, and graceful, these pieces lift from the page like songs from a pure soul.-Diana Abu-Jaber, Life Without a Recipe

This book summary may sound a little strange, but it is very true.It came about a night while I was sleeping. Satan started coming to me in my dreams. He told me if I would write down everything he told me, he would make me as rich as someone we all know. (I will not tell their name. I don''t want to make anyone mad.) Anyway, I ignored Satan that night and went back to sleep, but he did tell me that the name of the book would be The Mirror in the House.Well, the next night while I was sleeping, Satan came to me again in my dreams. Again, he told me if I would write down everything he said, he would make me as rich as someone we all know. The name of the book will be The Mirror in the House. He said it will be published as a book and will become a movie. That night, I did speak. I told him if I''m ever to get rich, it will be through my Lord. Satan left me and never came back.Then one day, I was sitting in my chair in the living room when this feeling came all over me. I yelled, "Quick, get me a pen and paper." I could not write fast enough. That''s when God gave me my first song with the tune. The name of the song is "Up." He gave me several songs with the tunes since. Then he changed them to poems. God is my Savior, my Father, my King. God is my everything! Life would be so useless without God.God says in Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV), "''For I know the plans I have for you,'' declares the Lord, ''plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.''"
