Fine-Tuning My Pen

"The words of a poet never really die; they continue to live on and on-in the hearts and minds of readers as a thought or a smile, and sometimes as a line in a book, a movie, or even a song. The words of a poet never really die; they continue to live on and on." These words describe the feelings of author and minister, Clara B. (Finley) Ray, about her poetry. She is both excited and a somewhat sad as she publishes her last book of poetry, and accepts her calling as a Christian self-help writer and motivational speaker. Clara is not ending her writing career. She is "fine-tuning her writer's pen" and has many books planned on self-help topics. This final book of poetry contains a wide variety of poems including love poems, awareness poetry, faith poetry, personal growth poetry, and nature poems.
