Hazel "Bourne" Carter has done it again. In her first Book, Bourne to Love, Hazel's dramatic, real and very humorous poetry dynamically entertains her readers with topics everyone can relate to. In Bourne 2 Shine, Hazel has outshined her first book with even more passion and humor. A beautiful addition to her poetry are her short stories which deal with thought provoking issues that will leave you in wonder and amazement. Hazel , who was born on the beautiful Caribbean island of Trinidad, in a small, quaint village called Palo Seco, now lives in Brooklyn, New York. The gift of poetry has always been in Hazel. She wrote her first poem as a very young child, one which she says was a bit unpolished. Hazel later perfected her poetic gift in 2008 when she was given the opportunity to read the weekly announcements at her Church, International Christian Center. Hazel soon transformed the mundane reading of the weekly announcements by adding her own poetic flair and dramatic performance to it. Since then, Hazel has written several poems and short stories. You will be entertained when you read Bourne 2 Shine.
