Please join me for a discussion and signing of my book, Lovers Anonymous, in the Diane Bienes Seminar Room. Books will be available for sale and refreshments will be served so please invite your friends. If you have not yet read the book, you can preview the first 2 chapters by sending an email to xavierpjr@gmail.com. I also encourage you to read a review of my book by Ingrid Moore. The review is followed by an interview. You can check it out by clicking here.

I look forward to seeing you,

Snap Tag

I was tagged by Lyrically Yours. I must look at the snap and add to the poem. The text in Italics is mine. Actually the photo moved me quite a bit. I hope my friend finds the shelter and safety she so desperately needs. I would reach across the ocean to wrap her in my arms, but it is not to be. Perhaps some day, some day soon. Until then, be safe and know that your brother loves you.

The world waited outside for us
Waited
With moist grass beneath our feet
Cloaked with years of silent preparation
Silence procrastinates with the wind
The mystery of hope pours across the skin
Stretched tightly over our twisting limbs
Like the thatch that shelters us

I now tag Urban Butterfly.

Peace and Love,

Ali's Zay

Book cover

Well here it is finally. The book cover photo for Lovers Anonymous. I’ll post the final layout when it’s done. Of course that’s Ali and I in the photo. It was taken Sunday at Norman Manley Airport in Kingston. In the photograph it’s obvious that my fingers are crossed behind my back. After applying the water color filter in Photoshop the crossed fingers are not so obvious any more but I really like the overall look. What do you think?

And here’s the portrait for the book cover. Is this a good photo or should I take another one? And is B/W OK or would color be better?
