An Artist's Legacy

Brenda Jean was a Second World War baby, who would not see her father until she was nearly two years old. She grew up the older of three children and was a good example for her sister and brother.

She was a gifted child and loved all things artistic and she strove to become a part of that world, in some way. Brenda did attempt artistic endeavors, however, her capricious father forbid any exuberance on her part, even when she was applauded for her efforts to show others her talents. In time Brenda withdrew any thought of showing off her talent and eventually held back any thought of asking for praise. Although, over time she found a solution through writing and most specifically poetry.

Brendas poetry spans three decades and, for most was kept stowed away among her personal affects, only to be found by me, after she had passed away in April 2023.

Brendas amazing talent in creating poetry will now receive the applause it deserves, since her ability and skill is now available for all to enjoy.
