Valerie Parks

‘Wisdom Of A Thousand Fools’ is Valerie Parks second book of poetry. Her first book of poetry ‘Pathways’ was launched in early 2011 and has received great reviews. ‘Wisdom Of A Thousand Fools’ touches on passion, loss, temptations, self, pride, guilt, desperation, inspiration, obsession, artifice, disappointment, illusions and contentment. She handles all these human conditions and emotions with empathy, compassion but still calls a spade a spade when it’s warranted. Valerie has been writing since she was fifteen years old and it’s been in her blood ever since she can remember. Her style is realistic with tender emotions laced throughout. She touches on the disappointments and the lost opportunities we all experience somewhere along our journey through life. She speaks loudly in a quiet voice and walks softly carrying a big stick. ‘Wisdom Of A Thousand Fools’ will take you on a trip through a maze of emotions and down many different pathways and deep into the canyons of the human psyche. It’s a book well written, a statement well made, and a trip well worth taking.

1Acknowledgments

Special thanks to Candice James, Poet Laureate of New Westminster, who has been unflagging in her support and encouragement. She has helped me so much with this book as well as my previous one, and tried to instill some self confidence in me.

Thanks to the talented Janet Kvammen who created the cover. She was so patient as I rejected one after the other of her delightful designs. She just kept them coming until I was satisfied. Nice work Janet.

Thanks to my gracious niece, Sharon Matthew-Fife, for her job of editing and proofreading. Her suggestions were invaluable. Thank you for your hard work and diligence. Thanks too for your belief in me.

There are so many friends who have supported me, too many to name. But you know who you are and your support is appreciated, thank you.
