MERRILLVILLE, Ind., Oct. 1, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brimming with meaning -- that is the picture that Juanita Robinson presents of a life aimed at finding love and following passion, which she presents in her new poetry book, A Portrait of Life.

Robinson lays bare her poetic prowess as she attempts to render the many emotions that make up life as she sees it. She takes her inspirations for her literary photographs from personal and vicarious occasions, producing a vivid plethora of poetic gems that bear collective experiences of love, pain, regret, wonder and amazement. Her poems are expressive snapshots of the emotions that come with beginnings and endings as well as those uniquely found in various relationships. While generally true, her themes also exude a perceptibly feminine voice with discussions on men (or one man) and motherhood. Heartfelt, universal and filled with the subtle but palpable sensitivity of a woman, A Portrait of Life will inspire, soothe and heal.
