In this day and age, struggle is something with which a multitude of people are becoming increasingly familiar. Financial worries, job losses, and lack of affordable health care - just to name a few - are problems that continue to plague individuals and families all over the world, and it's often difficult to maintain the requisite strength and resolve to survive the troubling times.
In the pages of Perseverance From The Heart, though, poet Patrice Watley-Hall provides readers with just what they need to face - and overcome - the various challenges that life may throw their way. Tackling a wide range of topics, including everything from hopelessness to heartbreak to grieving the death of a loved one, Perseverance is a comprehensive poetic cure-all for the everyday blues that we all face in some way or another. Written in straightforward, yet powerful language, each of the pieces in Watley-Hall's collection is designed to encourage, inspire, and ultimately empower the more disheartened among us, offering the stark reminder that the shadows of our present don't have to darken the days of our future.
Perseverance also proffers tribute to those whose omnipresent strength deserves special recognition, particularly mothers and women in general. In touching fashion, Watley-Hall duly honors the "anchors" of our lives without whom we likely wouldn't have endured the storms of our past.
A moving, insightful poetic collection, Perseverance From The Heart is a welcome addition to the world of poetry sure to be embraced by lovers of quality inspirational literature. Strongly recommended.

Official Apex Reviews Interview: Patrice Watley-Williams (Perseverance From The Heart)
Apex Reviews: Thanks for joining us for this interview, Patrice. We're looking forward to sharing more about your book with our readers.
Patrice Watley-Williams: Thank you kindly for such a wonderful review.
AR: Where did you get the idea to craft this quite moving collection?
PWW: This collection comes through creating an outlet. An outlet to ease my mind from day to day frustrations as well as the joys I have experienced. I gain pleasure from penning my thoughts and sharing them with others.
AR: The encouraging sentiments that you convey in the various pieces of the collection are deep and heartfelt. Do they stem from considerable adversity that you've overcome in your own personal life?
PWW: Most definitely. Though some aren’t direct effects on my own life, they have impacted my life in one way or another and I’ve been told I do my best work when I’m going through something whether good or bad...
AR: What inspires you to keep going every day?
PWW: I’m inspired by faith in knowing there are so many possibilities that life has to offer. We have to begin to realize you get out of this life what you put in it.
AR: What kinds of responses has the book generated thus far?
PWW: Thus far, the response has been great! So many say they feel what I’m saying, and are moved by my encouraging words.
AR: What's the main message that you'd like readers to take away from the collection?
PWW: I would like for readers to know that we go through a life of hardship and joys and without these experiences we wouldn’t be able to experience far greater things and I know for sure without my experiences I wouldn’t have these touching and heartfelt words of inspiration to share.
AR: Please share more with our readers about the concept of "Poetic Mind Vibes."
PWW: ”Poetic Mind vibes” was created from the beginning when I began to share my poetry with my friends and family. All of the responses I received were: that was poetic, girl you were vibing, that was deep, heartfelt, etc. And as I was trying to come up with a concept that I wanted to represent what I stood for, something different, something that would stand out from the crowd. And that’s when it hit me that I was creating “Poetic Mind Vibes, My phases of Life as I know it….And the beat goes on…
AR: How has your publishing experience been thus far with AuthorHouse?
PWW: My experience with Authorhouse was quite pleasant thanks to Mr. J.R. Harris It’s rare that things are excellent in any process or situation and with that being said, I had a conflict with one of the departmental reps that just had no people skills but J.R. stepped right in as my Rep, A good Rep and made things right. He does exceptional work.
AR: What are your future writing/publishing aspirations?
PWW: I’ve started what I call my “Phases of Life” starting with “Perseverance From the Heart/Poetic Mind Vibes, the Second Edition, titled” my Pen Speaks/Poetic Mind Vibes, due in stores early Spring 2010, and the Third Edition, titled “Lyrically Speaking/Poetic Mind Vibes to be released shortly thereafter. I’m also working on a short story book, tentatively tiled, “Faces In the Mirror”.
AR: How can our readers learn more about you and your ongoing efforts?
PWW: Readers can learn more about me by visiting me at my website www.poeticmindvibes.net or www.poeticmindvibes.com and please order my book, Perseverance From the Heart/Poetic Mind Vibes at any online book store.
AR: How can they contact you directly?
PWW: I can be contacted directly by email: patrice@poeticmindvibes.net or by phone 678-478-7357.
AR: Any final thoughts you'd like to share?
PWW: I would like for readers to know that we all have a purpose. We have to stop being afraid to explore our possibilities. I write because I want to share powerful words with the world and I feel this is my quest to paying it forward.
AR: Thanks again, Patrice, and best of continued success to you in all your endeavors!
PWW: Thank you!
