She&#8217;s eloquently produced the anthology through plaintive artistic angst. Injecting the essence of her soul into her prose. The diverse collection of poetry which lies between the covers is the result of an entire life&#8217;s work experimenting within her vocation.<\/p>\n<p>Her work is comprised of truth, meaning, hope, possibility and a succinct hint of humor as she tears away the facade from humanity. The works shed light on relative issues that we&#8217;re all faced with in our easily waywardly led astray lives, and the monotony that makes up our existence.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Invitation: To Journey Through a Conscious Mind<\/i> is an ode to the beat generation of poets that carved their names in literary history. Any creative mind will revel in the inspiration that lies between these pages; it&#8217;s full of daring attitude, and celebration for the authentic. A unique look on love, that you have to dare to delve within. It harnesses true devotion, with a stark, hair raising element of modern reality.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align:center;\"><b>My Book Awakened a Voice: <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Research for my poetry book was a bit different than the research for fiction books. It entailed me figuring out the central theme, and how I would organize a collection. It was like piecing together a puzzle or displaying a collection of art along a wall. It had to be purposeful. It had to flow in ways that was a set-up for the next one to come. I chose five themes. Themes that depict things that I\u2019ve thought or felt. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">While researching for the book. I went back to my file of poems that were written in the past. It was a trip down memory lane. I laughed and felt sad all over again. It was amazing to see how mature I was in some ways then, but then to reflect on how much I\u2019ve grown to where I am now. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">My life was not hard but it wasn\u2019t easy either. I had experienced disappointment, first heart break, teenage insecurity, and more. I had questions about love, marriage, and relationships that stemmed from having parents that co-parented most of my life. My father was not there in my life until the age of 5. Even after his appearance, even though he was involved in some ways. My mother remained the constant and involved parent. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">As I grew older I became stronger and independent. I joined the military at the age of 19. I had my first child at age 20. \u00a0From Motherhood to Marriage to Divorce. All of it came in the last decade of my life. I have written my emotions, thoughts, and thoughts of others that share similar stories into poetic form. To show that there\u2019s layers to life and in the unexpected you still grow to where you\u2019re supposed to be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Penning my first book was an introduction. For readers to get a feel for who I am. Who I am not. More important, who I\u2019ll be. \u00a0The message I aim to represent and find essential to promote. Why writing is my passion, and a work that I take with a privileged regard. It is home. No matter what comes about there will always be a pen and something to write on. As I write on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">\u00a0<span style=\"font-size:large;\"><b>Buy the Book:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B06Y6L3C5K\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-size:large;\"><b>Amazon<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/17027338.Tyfany_Janee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-size:large;\"><b>Add to Goodreads<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><span style=\"font-size:large;\"><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><span style=\"font-size:large;\"><b>\u200bBook Trailer:<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\">[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IJ2j2LAQk_U]<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><span style=\"font-size:large;\"><b>About the Author:<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:center;\"><a style=\"margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/08\/1ff66-tyfany2bjanee.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/08\/1ff66-tyfany2bjanee.jpg?w=200\" width=\"213\" height=\"320\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Tyfany Janee is a mother and an upcoming graduate with a BS in Business Administration in a concentration of Entrepreneurship, and a minor in Marketing.
