A book of poetry, power and promise."NRLewis takes readers on a powerfully raw, brutally honest, deeply personal journey into self. The "I" who emerges in the poems and prose is vulnerable and open, not afraid to introduce her own fears and passions. It is a journey of hurt and healing. The line "Be my lyric and I'll be your rhyme. ..." is not only her invitation to a specific relationship but is a metaphorical invitation for readers to connect with their own disappointments and convictions and to "Just Write." In this collection, bonus relationships emerge as we get glimpses not only of the "hims" she encounters but of the many "sisters" (including the generations of strong women in her life) who have grounded and shaped who she is. At one point in the poem,"Drive Fast, ' Nichole proclaims, "I'm too full of life to drive slow." It is an understatement worth exploring and one worth not missing."Judi Moore Latta, Ph.D."'Just Write' is just right. It's a timely pun, and the audience will agree that author Nichole R. Lewis exposes her truth for herself while helping others. There is a freedom the audience will experience knowing their concerns are not invalid. Nichole lets loose like a new single in constant rotation on the radio until readers see themselves and fully understand that just writing frees your soul."Yolonda D. ColemanAuthor and Educator
