From the Author:

How can we determine if what we’re feeling is love? This is a question everyone wants to answer.

What is it I learn about what happens? I shared answers within Ways of Love, A Poetry Collection.

I delve into the various stages of love, from joyful laughter to heartfelt chortles. The happiness that accompanies discovering the perfect match. Mistakes serve as building blocks. The pain of loss can turn into a magnetic draw for passion.

Inside these pages you can gain from poetry’s stories.

Consider including Ways of Love in your poetry collection for a fresh perspective.

ANNOUNCEMENT! I’m Glad We Did This by Kelli Lage is available!

October 20, 2023 Lisa Tomey-Zonneveld

I’m Glad We Did This is a poetry chapbook by Kelli Lage that captures and treasures the transition from childhood and adolescence to adulthood. Memories of simple and delicate joys are scattered throughout this chapbook. Though nostalgia is present throughout this book, the author opens it up for readers to be present in the act of remembering those who have made us who we are. Lage pulls from elements of her rural hometown that highlight the closeness of the relationships described in this book. With just a river dam near her, she takes in nature as much as the faces of those around her, and often intertwines the two. As readers immerse themselves into I’m Glad We Did This they will discover a portrait of friendship that highlights joy found within past and present connections. I’m Glad We Did This is for readers who enjoy small, beautiful, and messy moments of day to day life, appreciate nature and memory, and find themselves moved when sunlight pokes through trees, dew bounces off grass, and rivers curve and skip.

Available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble

NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT! What Matters Journal by Zaneta Varnado Johns

July 25, 2023July 26, 2023 Lisa Tomey-Zonneveld

Prolific Pulse Press is pleased to announce the publication of this unique journal by Zaneta Varnado Johns.

This is a journal of intention, an acknowledgment of what matters. Inspired by Zaneta Varnado Johns’ Pushcart Prize nominated poem, “What Matters,” it is a tool for continuous reflection and mindfulness. Johns believes that every word shared is an opportunity to love. She further states that we are rich in unfailing love. How does it look when we consistently cultivate that love—for others and ourselves? Nothing else matters until we master the divine gift of knowing what matters.

Crafted with a style all her own, Johns has created a journal that is designed for thoughtful introspection and outward expressions of self-care and care for others.

The artwork by Pratibha Savani and Preeti Mistry add to the meaning of this designer’s dream. Kelli Jackson has also contributed to the design of this work of art.

The outstanding cover photography by Shari Filsinger shows the intended warm invitation to enter into moments of personal expressions.
