I wrote and made my illustrations for this book with thought of being a cat with 9 lives. As a woman we go through life in stages where we grow through trials and experiences. Each chapter of this book is laid out in 9 stages and I want the reader to reflect on the stage the poem is written in. My illustrations will further capture the intention and mood of the poetry. This book includes 5 chapters of poetry and each chapter has a theme running through it that reflects my experience with society and life in general. For purchase of this book or other limited collection books, original art, printed art, home decor, novelty items, clothing textiles, reproductions and gifts. Please visit www.ateljerose.com
