    About this ebook

    Dr. Kimberley Mercedes Jones creates a buffet of deceptive images, tasting smells, and touching sounds through her collection of poems about cultivating solace. Dr. Jones’s figurative language includes a sophisticated presentation of alliterations, hyperboles, and metaphors. She uses rhyme and rhythmic schemes as a synthesizing principle for contextual meaning. The content is a tribute to the value of humility, and as an appeal to human sensory perception, Dr. Jones guides you to explore the kindred spirit between fantasy and reality. Through a progression of self-discovery is the reader’s potential to experience these poetic gestures and narrative vignettes.

    In this collection are kaleidoscopic visions. Dr. Jones proclaims her crafting word choices accounts for the reader to indulge. “Exercising the diligence to read the poems and vignettes more than once, the reader is likely to experience something new to think about, to feel…to derive at a multitude of significant meanings with levels of interpretation.” Her prose narratives are reflective of shared humanity with an array of expressive emotions.

    Dr. Jones has integrated successfully into universal themes and topics an attention to nurturing the essence of humanity. She has chosen genres of poetry featuring influences of haiku, cinquain, pentastich, and free verse, fulfilling a gamut of solemn to humorous temperaments. Her poems offer insight into the value of the profound and the absurd, investigating the extremities as components of nature.

    Derived from each work in Tales of Therapeutic Journeys, Dr. Jones offers an extended invitation to the reader to gain ownership of an internalized keepsake.

      It is deceptively simple to say I dedicate these literary works to Nancy J. DeSalvo, DMA, rather, she is the recipient of this dedication because she is an avid reader of my creative writing and engages her propensity to see into my inner being, and evermore, she chooses to be my dear friend.
