Paradontic

Book excerpt: Poet Jobie Sprout believes her humorous side came from listening to her parents and grandparents telling stories long into the night. Despite her great joy in life, though, there is darkness. Her poetic storytelling comes from a metaphorical deep blue sea where, at times, Jobie imagines herself safely sheltered from humanity’s cruelty. Her collection Paradontic bridges the gap between joy and pain, loneliness and romance. Her poems will inspire laughter, thought, and perhaps even creativity. Jobie’s words go far into the mind and soul of the feminine inner being even as women stumble through the mundane rhythm of day-to-day life. This varied collection covers topics like religious inspiration, family relationships, and even sex. Jobie’s book is written for the faithful and the weary of the world and prays that it will inspire conversation. These poems are perfect for reading over coffee or perhaps in bed with a beloved. Discover laughter and light amidst the darkness, and awaken to the potential of you.
