Bøger af Ronda Miller

MoonStain describes the blood moon as it shines through tree leaves, marking the long hours of a sleepless night as it spreads from one point to another on a young child's bedroom floor. In this collection of poetry, Miller weaves stories of life, death, and love through her poetry, primarily narrative in form. From glimpses of her childhood home on her grandparents' farm to images of a woman's life, her loves, her losses, we learn of life's stains, of moments that shape and become a part of one woman's voice. Ronda Miller is a poet and Life Coach. Born in Ft. Collins, Colorado, she was raised on her grandparents' farm in the high plateau region of NW Kansas. She holds degrees in Human Development and Creative Writing from the University of Kansas. She is a Fellow of the Citizen Journalism Academy and a district president and current board member of the Kansas Authors Club.

The vision for I Love the Child, was to incorporate children from a variety of ages, ethnicities and abilities. The author and artist depict a non-traditional mermaid as a mixed race, gender neutral person with a partial limb rather than the traditional female mermaid with a perfect body and long red or blond hair. The girl in the wheelchair breaks the mold of being incapable by doing a wheelie. Most humans have experienced an emotion similar to one or more of the children depicted within the stanzas.

In this collection of poetry, Ronda Miller continues to weave life stories, giving bold narration to moments in time that are sometimes touching, sometimes shocking, sometimes joy filled, and always honest. Miller gives voice through her poetry to stories we are sometimes afraid to listen to, lest through them we grow in understanding and compassion for each other, for humankind.
