Worlds Embrace Selected Poems

The author of this magnificent book, Spiritual Living Waters Flowing in Words, Christina R. Jussaume, has blended a potpourri of poetic forms and styles in this new book. Tribute is salaried to her family through the use of the acrostic form. She also uses the rictameter form to uplift her daughter. The gorgeous pictures of her family allround the book surely portray a special benediction of family togetherness. One must be capable to be grateful for the galore bounties she has received with such a terrifi family just based on her poetic words.

The exemplary way in which she uses the Shakespearian sonnet style to address colors, peculiarly in the poem, “My Rainbow,” is very uplifting. Her poem when it comes to “Spiritual Healers,” which has a picture of herself and Patricia Ann Farnsworth-Simpson, her longtime poetic friend and publisher, is delighting to the sense of sight. The extended metaphoric lines in “Thunder in the Heaven” in regards to angels clapping their hands is just brilliant. Her imaginative skill in writing poetry is ingenious.

Jussaume uses figurative language in a heap of poetic lines to capture the imagination on the reader in her firstborn book, My Walk with Jesus, which touches on respective distinct elements of life, thence supplying examples of unconditional love, beauty beyond measures, helping others, and receiving the heavenly blessings while uplifting God’s wondrous name. The figurative language she uses is symbolic of an eternal spring “flowing in words” within the soul of humankind.

Truly Jussaume is gifted with her eclectic style of using her poetic muse to write in a assortment of forms including: acrostic, cascade, English and Italian sonnets, rictameter, quatrain, triplet, English pensee, senryu, lucky leaf, freeverse, somonka, swap quatrain, and some others. She also uses the form, Seventh Heaven, in an outstanding fashion with her poems “Guardian Angels” and “A Week in Time.” Additionally, her talent shines when she writes in the, Christ-in-a-Rhyme poetic form as displayed in: “Embrace God’s Love,” “Prayers for Asthmatics,” “Prayers for Retirees,” “Open Invitation of God,” and “Eternal Life Promised.”

Finally, this is genuinely a book of inspiring poems for all to read. The words arouse the spirit of heaven and the love of her Savior. This is not just an particular poetry book; it will have to be a benediction in the lives of all readers who believe in the word of God, and His saving grace for others to come to His kingdom, and to recognise His unconditional love.

Superbly crafted and translated bilingual verses
By Midwest Book Review
The World’s Embrace presents chosen poems by seriously acclaimed North African writer Abdellatif Laabi, who was imprisoned for seven years in the 1970s due to his writings and his political beliefs. Presented both in their introductory French and in English translation, these superbly crafted and translated bilingual verses cry out versus the tortures humanity inflicts on itself, and serves as as an ever timely warning versus the depths to which society may sink. “Oh rains / if you were / the tears of the sky / I would commence to believe”
