This book came together in separate parts about not only current issues in the United States but also other fundamental issues in our lives. After Roe v. Wade was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court and women’s rights were lost in approaching half the U.S., Janet Kuypers (author, college journalism major, and past acquaintance rape workshop facilitator) went into journalism mode to share as many details and insights about the unraveling of the rights of so many people in the U.S. (Part One of this book). During this time, and after losing poets/loved ones to suicide (and reviewing how different countries address suicide), Part Two of this book became about this touchy and intensely personal subject. Precisely because many people rely on religion for their morality, Part Three of this poetry book reflects the first book in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible, and Part Four of this poetry book contains select poems reflecting the last book in the New Testament of the Holy Bible. Bonus poems also appear between these sections that weave the poetry in this book together to make this (as of 2023 the longest) CyberWit Janet Kuypers poetry collection book complete. |
