I have had the privilege of reading several of the poems written by the Poet Queen. In addition, her recent book of poetry, Excursions of the Mind, only reinforced my already-established opinion that her work packs a wallop! Not only does she cover each subject well, she also paints word pictures for the reader, making them feel they are a part of the story. She has indeed earned the title of Poet Queen! Kudos, Joanne!!
