Candid, astonishing, and commanding your attention, "Journey of Discovery" reveals things hidden in the life of a writer. Divulging secrets from the diary of a poet, Paula Denise Johnson once again helps us to understand that a writer does not just write for the sake of writing, but to convey the hidden world to us, the best way they know how. Some do this through novels, short stories, and songs, but she through the art of poetry conveys her most honest and intimate thoughts to us. The poems "Hidden Realm" and "Loving Me" are both reflections of a young woman's struggle to find true love within herself. Through the bold and realistic poems, "Easily Led" and "No Love," she explains how others explore themselves through other people without, first, taking time to love themselves. The romantic, sensual and erotic poems, "Paradisacial Xperience" and "Loving This Man" express notions of love by Paula Denise Johnson that are alluring, but surprising. This is an insightful look at the diary of a poet.
