Landscapes of the Heart

is a collection of feelings, experiences, observations, and soul searching thoughts that are meant to evoke deep responses in the readers. The author, Mary R. Callahan, has used paper and pen as one would create visual images with easel and paintbrush. By sharing the landscape of her heart, she hopes to inspire the hidden poet in all her readers to come out to play with words. Her strong belief is that poetry can be a cathartic outlet for difficult feelings as well as a delightful way to express joy, ideas, and ideals. Free verse poetry gives the writer poetic freedom to express thoughts using whatever design or pattern he or she chooses. Dive in and see!
