Poetry for the People!

"Can I change hearts and minds? I'm trying."

From "Day 82: Can I Change?"

Sandra de Helen's newest poetry collection is all about changing hearts and minds. This collection of poems, gleaned from many decades of keen observation, show the poet to be insightful and clear-headed yet displaying a sly wit at times. Her musings on justice, politics, women in society, war and peace, racism, the 2020 pandemic, and more will be enjoyed by anyone with a heart.

"This is the day I go for it. Full out, full

stop, no holding back. Plan A all the

way. I'm straightening my shoulders,

pulling in my chin, leading with my

attitude . . ."

From "Today's The Day"

The poems here go all out with attitude and with skillful creation by a poet at the top of her game. As the Rainbow Awards judges said:

"The author wrote with lyrical, beautiful sentences that painted pictures in my mind. Her choices in style and presentation were fabulous."
