Almost ready!

My new book is almost ready, I'm fine-tuning the last details.

I leave a sample of what the cover will be like and a verse, so you know what's coming.

The world says, “Nobody will love you.”

And God says, “I will always love you.”

 

The world says, “You’ll never overcome it.”

And God says, “Surely, you will overcome it!”

My eighteenth book – Christian Poetry Volume V

This book is the fourth of a series of Christian poetry, with poems written between 2013 and 2014.

There are poems about many subjects related to the Christian religion, biblical narratives, Christian life, personal life, etc.

This time, there was a piece of news… I’ve used Artificial Intelligence in the correction of poems and also in the translation into English.

I’ve used Bing AI as my edition assistant; he did incredible work. He suggested rhymes, corrected grammar errors, gave me style advice, etc.

In this book, I followed the same logic as the two previous volumes, I didn't try to keep the exact words. My concern was to keep the same meaning. And one more time, the translation was excellent.

The words of the cross are related to the book's poems; I kept the keywords on the covers of all books.


Words of the cross:

Attention

Await

Behavior

Christ (keyword)

Church

Conversion

My seventeenth book — The Poetry of the Work Volume II

This book is the second one with poems related to situations in the workplace. I tried to express feelings and situations that I'm sure everyone has already faced, at minimum one of them.

Like in the previous book of the series, I wrote with a standard. All poems are composed of five stanzas with three verses. In most poems, all verses rhyme in the stanza.

One more time, I used my new method of translating. I didn't translate literally, I translated by the meaning. This is very useful for better rhymes.

At the beginning of the book, I made it clear the book is not based on my personal experiences. All I've written are thoughts, and they are based on many things I heard, read, and learned about the workplace.

This time, you'll notice a different tone in the poems. The first book is more fun and relaxed, but this one has some subjects more serious, like misogyny, racial prejudice, sickness, etc.

I hope you enjoy this new collection.

In 2024, this book was joined with The Poetry of the Work Volume I, creating a new book, Work & Soul: Poems About Professional Life.

The book has been published on April 10th, 2024.
