    About this ebook

    Compilation Of A Life Of Poetry is a collection of more than 35 unconventional poems that seek to revive the art of poetry. These verses relate the stages of a woman's life, starting with adolescence when she discovers the love for the first time to adulthood when she experiences motherhood, the deception of her partner, and her own revenge after she was betrayed. This collection of poems sometimes take a form of protest, and it gives life to many topics such as love, family, and reconciliation.

    Cindy Pantoja

    I was born in the little town of Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, Mexico, where I grew up listening to mariachi music and playing with hand-crafted toys. Years later, my family moved to Oakland, California, where I spend my teenage years. There, I enjoyed Oakland’s diversity and I also met the wonderful people that belong to my family. Once I became an adult, I went on a journey to find a land of fantasy where I could develop myself as a writer and I founded Portland, Oregon. I lived in this rainy city for 10 years, until I decided to go back to Oaktown, the place that stole my heart. Oakland is the city where I write my stories every morning, the city that makes me feel at home; the only place on earth where the wind sounds like a Mexican-mariachi band and the coffee smells like Portland’s rain. Nací en el bello municipio de Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, México, donde crecí escuchando mariachi y jugando con artesanías. Después por circunstancias de la vida, me tocó vivir mi adolescencia en Oakland, California, donde conocí la diversidad y la gente maravillosa que forma parte de mi familia. Posteriormente, se me dio por buscar un lugar de fantasía donde pudiera desarrollarme como escritora y lo encontré en Portland, Oregón. Allí viví por 10 años hasta que decidí regresar a Oaktown la tierra que se adueñó de mi corazón, donde escribo mis historias cada mañana, donde el café huele a lluvia de Portland y donde el viento suena a mariachi de San Pedro.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
