Words I Painted: A Collection of Poetry and Art

Words I Painted is a collection of poetry accompanied by original works of art by author J.E. Demick. Recognizing that we are surrounded by beauty and savagery both in the natural world and in the world of human nature, Words I Painted probes the essence of nature and the emotions of human beings. Part One: On Nature, chronicles the author’s unique observations of the natural world, from coyotes to lightning, from storms to offspring, from atoms to outer space. Here the reader will be immersed in the beauty and wonder of our natural surroundings, so often over looked. In Part Two: On Human Nature, the author turns her attention to the vast array of human emotions from temptation to resentment to love, and also examines human constructs such as racism and war. The artwork represents the author’s impressions or visions of the poetry, and offers the reader one of many possible interpretations of the written word. Words I Painted will kindle the fire in the mind which craves to regain a fascination with our surroundings, and with each other, again.
