A Hidden Garden is Whitley Strieber's first book of poetry. Whitley has been writing poems for many years, but previously only shared them with friends. This book contains poems he has written since 1980, but most of them were written since 2015. Just one of the poems, "Somebody Kissed Me," directly refers to his experiences with the otherworldly presence he calls the visitors, but it eloquently expresses the power and mystery of this very special part of his life.

Winifred Holtby was born on 23rd June 1898 to a prosperous farming family in the village of Rudston in Yorkshire.

Despite William Shakespeare being regarded as the most significant figure in the Western literary canon, relatively little is known about his early life and his later ‘lost years’. Even the exact date of his birth is uncertain. 23rd April generally accepted to be the date of his birth, could be a scholarly mistake amplified by the coincidence of it also being the date of his death. His iconic status now spans global literature and stems directly from the magnitude of his plays, both tragedies and comedies, and his poetry which is often cited as some of the greatest love poetry ever written.

This selection of poems by a new author was triggered by the tragic death of his 28-year-old daughter. So the collection begins with loss and the aftermath of loss: the hope of the author that his daughter and he may be reunited in the life to come. This hope underlies many of the poems. This is clearly articulated in ‘Osler and Son’, where a father grieves for loss of his son in World War I but in a stoical, unexpressed manner.

Perspective is the common thread through all the events of life that, depending on how you view what takes place, brings you to the other side for better or worse. Perspective will always be the main player in your story of what you love, embrace, and manifest, as well as what you dislike and need to set free from your heart. Which stance will you take?

These poems invite readers both young and old to travel to destinations real and imagined.

A contrasting collection of light and dark, love and heartache, loss and gain, peace and war, hope and despair.

We find a safe space, to keep fear at bay until the brightness of a new day.

“What She Portrays: Vol. 1” is a book of poems about childhood trauma, losing sight of your faith, relationship issues, self-love, and much more. Most of these poems portray Harris’ experiences throughout her mid-teen years and her early 20s. Since she started writing, Harris’ goal has always been to be relatable and personal with her audience.

In "Secrets of the Shadows," haunting verses capture listeners into a realm where the humans and ghosts intertwine.
