Petals by Anna Casamento Arrigo

Multi-volume, multi-genre author Anna Casamento Arrigo introduces us to her collection of poetry, “Petals”:
“Petals,” Anna says, “is, in essence, learning how to walk when you, on some days, are forced to crawl. Moreover, it’s about defining and redefining the self, and, ultimately, learning some new recipes for those proverbial lemons!” 
 
Petals showcases her love of life and all that we can achieve, and that the better part of ourselves is ourselves! “But most importantly,” as Anna believes, “Kindness ALWAYS Matters!”

I am always surprised by poetry. My expectations always fall short and this volume captured my heart in several ways. The feelings that arise within me are the result of the poet's words and teach me more about myself than about the poet.
I seek a favorite in each volume and that is such a difficult task. Puppet Master will do until I read the poems again.
4.9 stars for Petals!
