Jo VonBargen…her poetry is as musical and resonate to me as the Italian language and my fingers on my cello. On second thought, my fingers are nowhere near as moving as her words. Thankfully, I found her through my first Pixel Pal, Bert, and she has welcomed me into her world with the natural, raw language that is uniquely hers.
Like all true voices of the human spirit, her work cannot be easily explained. Adjectives like transcendent, deep, soulful, beautiful, heartfelt, scary, painful, peaceful, moving and intimate are used, but to really understand, you must experience.
The Day Will Come, when you hopefully visit Jo in Texas through the pixels on your Kindle, Nook or computer, and you will use those same adjectives and know that she is “seasoned and wise.”
Pick up any of her books, especially the latest, and you will wonder how you ever got through life without her words. Here is her Amazon page, Twitter handle and Blogs, so start following! Go ahead, I dare you. Open your mind and heart and you will certainly follow it to her, soul open in awe.
