Books by Juanita Alexandria Davis

Poet Juanita Alexandria Davis shares her latest personal verses in Judgmental, her second book of poetry. In it, her words are light-hearted, whimsical and "slightly topical."Her latest book shows that poetry is in the eye of the beholder. "It's amazing how people interpret things differently," she says. "I let a friend read 'We Cry' before I submitted it, and he thought it was sad. I let my mom read the same poem, and she could see the happiness in it." Judgmental is a simple yet diverse poetry collection containing 62 works. "My first book was purposely majority 'light' in content. I even had inanimate poems. I can't get away from my personality, as I have a quirky sense of humor. This time, I balanced out serious poems with the light-hearted more effectively."Before her first book, the author went on the Internet to ask how many poems should be in a book of poetry. The best answer came from a little girl who wrote back, 'As many as your heart can handle.' Juanita Alexandria Davis released her first book of poetry Reflections, Remorse, and Revelations in December 2013. She was raised in the Rehoboth Beach area of Delaware and now resides in Baltimore, Maryland. She is an admissions coordinator for a hospital.

Reflections, Remorse, and Revelations is a general poetry book, not concentrated in any one area. Its majority is "light" in content, especially in the beginning. As the book proceeds, there is a mix of silliness and seriousness to capture reader imagination.This poetry collection is appropriate for anyone teenage and older.Says the author, "I wrote my first poem about myself approximately fifteen years ago. I have been on self-imposed hiatus for the last few years. In May of 2012, it was time to come back to it to see if there was a place in the poetic world for me. Writing poetry is a hobby. In sports they call it 'the love of the game.' Everyone won't be a superstar, but they still want to play."About the AuthorJuanita Alexandria Davis was raised in the Rehoboth Beach area of Delaware and now resides in Baltimore, Maryland.
