March 22– Annette Russell
Exposed: A Real Life in Real Words, Russell's latest verse collection, began as a small project for author Russell's family and friends, but it became a collection of poems telling her life story. Originally from South Philadelphia, Russell now resides in Lebanon, Pennsylvania with my daughters. “Writing poetry,” she says, “allows me to acknowledge and express my feelings and the things that I’m going through.” Her words mirror things that many others are feeling. Russell says “I’m a voice for the silent…Poetry allows me the freedom to face anything on my own terms. I use it to heal and deal!”
