The Artist and Poets of Life

By Tawanda Davis

I compiled and illustrated an inspiring collection of poems, drawings, recipes, songs. The subject of the book will be loved because of its diversity. I think you have a poem to tell. My book will let you ease your troubles and relax your mind. When you read the book, breathe in and breathe out four times, share this book, then read the book. By sharing this book, we can build more understanding. Share this book with someone.

I add some family photos of my adopted family, Katherine and Leonard Davis from New York. I have a biological mother, Patricia Joyner Syms, and my father is Zonnie Holloway Jr. They are from Virginia and Washington, DC. I share this book to everyone to make a family reunion theme for every time I talk about the book. You are all angels, and you all may read this book too. Its for anyone from age six to adult. The poems tell of deep thoughts.

Tawanda Davis

She is the author. She compiled by editing the poems with her own ideas. She sounds like an angel spiritually. She is creative, and she likes to design. She is an artist. Tawanda Davis is from Washington, DC. She created this book to educate her mind. She has a learning disability and was tested for dyslexia in 2016. She had her high school diploma in 1989 in New York. She is now attending Washington Literacy Center in DC, and she graduates in June 16, 2016. Thanks to them, her spelling is improving. She loves people. She is from a mixed family. The only way she can see them is in her book. They keep in touch when they can, or she gives them an “angel call”—that, is a nice, positive call.
