"Girl Flying Kite: Poems" - New Poetry Collection Soars to New Heights

HARTFORD, Conn. - Oct. 25, 2017 - PRLog -- Poignant, powerful, and unforgettable, award-winning author Nancy Louise Lewis presents 42 stunning poems in her new book of poetry Girl Flying Kite: Poems.

The first poem in the collection – and the title of her book Girl Flying Kite – describes the moment a nuclear bomb exploded over Nagasaki, Japan, during World War II. It begins:

We have to imagine

she had flaws, the girl

whose shade is blasted forever

into Nagasaki stone. She was doubtless

less beautiful than the outline

suggests.

This vivid assortment features works originating from the author's childhood spent in Appalachia as well as other life experiences. She questions pre-conceived ideas about the world as she experiments with language. "Many of the poems have won awards, and I wanted to collect the best of my work into one volume. More to come."

About the Author: Now retired, award-winning newspaper journalist and college professor Nancy Louise Lewis was born near Appalachia and now resides in Connecticut. She is CEO of her nonprofit, Legalities, Inc., which helps deserving litigants afford an attorney to access the court system. This is her second book. Her first was her memoir Daisies Don't Lie: Misadventures in Journalism: The Making of a Feminist.
