Journeys of Recovery Poetic Expressions

Donette Dacosta takes her readers on a poetic journey where she shares her heart and experiences through an array of poems and prose. The writer's compassion for writing allows her to choose words for their beauty and sound, which are carefully arranged in short lines that rhyme in some of the poems. The author's use of anaphora at the beginning of some sentences creates emphasis and is used to appeal to the emotions of the reader in order to persuade, inspire, motivate and encourage them.
