on dawn


the dawning


After the celebrated arrival of Cries of A Young Girl, Dawn S. Smith returns with her latest work, the dawning. While maintaining the candid expressiveness of her earlier works, Dawn supplies the valuable wisdom synonymous with growing older. Opening with the playful section, freestylin', Dawn whisks you to the most happening of juke joints with merry marvels like just that bad and lovers bend. (The artist's tribute to musical legend Ella Fitzgerald.) Once the joint has closed for the night, Dawn curiously wanders into from whence we came, where she celebrates the plight of those who struggle just to be. Bear witness to the once-secret occurrences seen and felt with sobering poems such as the slap before that and in the pen doing ten. From these painful memories and observances, together we march triumphantly into and there was light, the final trimester of this collection. The reader is inspired by the testimonies, commentaries, and anointed poetics such as eagle and in the hope. A culmination of a lifetime of experiences compacted into a young woman's soul. Dawn invites you to take a glimpse at her journey. Perhaps, you will find pieces of yourself and your own dawning.

Cries Of A Young Girl

Cries of A Young Girl is not your ordinary collection of poetry. It originated from life experiences. Unlike many collections of poetry, Cries of A Young Girl was written by a female college student. Its verses outline the many stages of attraction. It begins with Invitations, a collection of poetry that every woman will identify with. It progresses with Rejections, which will have readers reminiscing of fallen tears. It continues with Realizations as women start to see the light at the end of love’s dark tunnel. It joyously concludes with Inspirations, the final moment when all women bask in the glow of self-contentment.

So many books have been published dealing with love, but very few cover it from the initial dreamy stage to the moments of being satisfied with themselves. This collection will appeal to readers of all ages and colors of the spectrum. It will also hold the interest of men because it gives them a sneak peak into what women really feel. If you have ever been in love, this book is for you.
