Author Venisia Gonzalez Debuts FOR THE LOVE OF WORDS

Poet-author Venisia Gonzalez makes an entrancing debut into the self-publishing world as she releases her wonderful collection, For the Love of Words. This compilation of reminiscent, emotional and meaningful poems and short stories embodies the depths of the poet's heart and soul. This book appeals to poetry enthusiasts and those who love eloquent words that bring to light the meaning of life, love and everything that comes in between-including diverse emotions.

In this wonderful collection of poems and short stories, Gonzalez unravels the inner workings of her heart and mind. It is an enticing potpourri of well-arranged verses and terse tales that convey a personal connection to different experiences and circumstances the author has lived through. These writings are expressions of wonder, heartache and loss. Others are language of various emotions of situations people encounter throughout their lives-encompassing dark poetry, humorous ruminations, significant contemplations, and random thoughts everyone can relate or learn from. For the Love of Words will kindle dormant feelings and challenge the reader's imagination on things that relate to everyday life experiences.

In For the Love of Words, Gonzalez has presented a beautiful ensemble of words that will surely strike a chord at everyone. Writing with so much enthusiasm and delight, the poet hopes that her readers can find some connection in her poetry and short stories as a form of relation, understanding, laughter, and healing.
