Problems, Prayers & Poetry

Look for the healing in the hurting. No matter who you are or what you do, everyone has experienced problems in their lives. Prayers, those answered and yet to be answered, have been a way to channel that negative energy into something possibly positive. Poetry is an outlet to express one’s innermost thoughts and feelings. Problems, Prayers & Poetry combines the struggles, the obstacles, and the hurdles one has to get over in order to get on with their life. In the words of Jay-Z, “I got ninety-nine problems,” Jillina “J-Bax” Baxter has ninety-nine poems that outline a number of issues people deal with on a daily basis but may not be willing to talk openly about them. She touches on topics such as love on all levels, dealing with death, betrayal, and forms of abuse, whether it be physical or verbal. She revisits history and ties in current events that play a role in future outcomes. You know the saying “Prayer changes things,” well, Problems, Prayers & Poetry will hopefully change your outlook on life.
