Problems, Prayers & Poetry

By Jillina Baxter

Look for the healing in the hurting. No matter who you are or what you do, everyone has experienced problems in their lives. Prayers, those answered and yet to be answered, have been a way to channel that negative energy into something possibly positive. Poetry is an outlet to express ones innermost thoughts and feelings. Problems, Prayers & Poetry combines the struggles, the obstacles, and the hurdles one has to get over in order to get on with their life. In the words of Jay-Z, I got ninety-nine problems, Jillina J-Bax Baxter has ninety-nine poems that outline a number of issues people deal with on a daily basis but may not be willing to talk openly about them. She touches on topics such as love on all levels, dealing with death, betrayal, and forms of abuse, whether it be physical or verbal. She revisits history and ties in current events that play a role in future outcomes. You know the saying Prayer changes things, well, Problems, Prayers & Poetry will hopefully change your outlook on life.

Jillina Baxter

Jillina “J-Bax” Baxter’s poetry comes from almost a half century of living and learning most times the hard way. She envisioned herself in the music industry but lost sight of her goals along the way. She set aside her dreams to raise her children by herself but realized that passion for writing was still within her soul. No matter what she was going through, she always kept writing and believing that her words would one day inspire others. Writing has always been a refuge for this author, who now has penned her second book. Her first book, entitled Vision Through Verses, was a collection of poems that she had written and compiled over the course of fifteen years. After that book was published in 2012, she continued writing based on a number of life-changing events occurring between 2012–2015. Whether she is in the midst of a storm or on the verge of a breakthrough, Jillina “J-Bax” Baxter just keeps producing poetry that provokes thought and invokes the spirit.
