A recent global review of my poem “Even the Jacaranda Know” revealed layers I never expected — a humbling reminder of how readers give a poem new life.

A poem, Even the Jacaranda Know, from my book Resonance of the Soul: Flowers and Harmonics, was recently reviewed on a renowned global African literary platform. The reviewer described it as a sweeping human portrait that “speaks in many voices but breathes through one tree.”

There is something profoundly humbling about receiving such insight from someone who has never met you . . . yet somehow understands the soul of your work. His analysis was brilliant, thoughtful, and deeply appreciated.

I remain grateful for the global attention a little book I typed away many quiet nights on my computer has generated. It is a reminder that even the smallest offerings can travel far beyond the place where they were created.
