The Frederick Follies – Poetic Treasures Derived from a Junkyard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The poetry\/prose collectionThe Frederick Follies: Poetic Treasures Derived from a Junkyard<\/em> is based on the 1972-1977 TV show “Sanford and Son,” set in the Watts section of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A huge fan of the old show, the author says, “I don’t usually laugh out loud, as my sense of humor is different from most. ‘Sanford and Son’is one of the few exceptions. I know every episode almost word for word, yet Fred’s delivery still tickles to this day. He is my favorite comedic bigot.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She adds, “Writing this book gives me an opportunity to create scenarios that never happened. As an author, I can place characters together that were not in the same scene or introduce characters who were mentioned but never made it on air. Therefore, if you don’t recall certain things happening while reading this, it’s because these certain things happened only in the space between my ears.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poem FREDERICK <\/strong>begins:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Frederick G Sanford; the G stands for “God only knows.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I change what the G represents on each Sanford and Son episode.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m rude, crude, and insulting to everyone, especially Lamont, my only son.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there’s a day I don’t call Lamont “dummy,” he’d swear I was acting funny.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there’s Esther, the sister-in-law, a hands-down winner on being ugly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Davis_Cover_Web(1)\"Judgmental<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Poet Juanita Alexandria Davis shares her latest personal verses in Judgmental, her second book of poetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In it, her words are light hearted, whimsical and \u201cslightly topical.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her latest book shows that poetry is in the eye of the beholder. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing how people interpret things differently,\u201d she says. \u201cI let a friend read \u2018We Cry\u2019 before I submitted it, and he thought it was sad. I let my mom read the same poem, and she could see the happiness in it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judgmental is a simple yet diverse poetry collection containing 62 works. \u201cMy first book was purposely majority \u2018light\u2019 in content. I even had inanimate poems. I can\u2019t get away from my personality, as I have a quirky sense of humor. This time, I balanced out serious poems with the light hearted more effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before her first book, the author went on the Internet to ask how many poems should be in a book of poetry. The best answer came from a little girl who wrote back, \u2018As many as your heart can handle.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Many Poems Should Be Included in a Poetry Collection?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author Juanita Alexandria Davis says, \u201cThe obstacle was coming up with enough poems to fill a book. I went on the Internet and asked how many poems should be in a poetry book. The answer was provided by a child. She said, \u2018As many as your heart can handle.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her book Reflections, Remorse, and Revelations<\/em> is not concentrated in any one area. It\u2019s mainly light in content, especially in the beginning. But as the book proceeds, there\u2019s a mix of silliness and seriousness, and the collection is appropriate for anyone teenage and older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davis wrote her first poem 15 years ago. \u201cI have been on self-imposed hiatus for the last few years. In May of 2012, it was time to come back to it to see if there was a place in the poetic world for me.\u201d She explains, \u201cWriting poetry is a hobby. In sports they call it \u2018the love of the game.\u2019 Everyone won\u2019t be a superstar, but they still want to play.\u201d So kick your heels back and relax, and just keep reading until you have reached \u201cas many as your heart can handle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
