In a career that is blossoming, Tamika Reynolds is one of many young American writers celebrating her first published book. Now, she presents a genre of poems on life, love, family and so much more. For her, writing has become something that she truly has a passion for. She wants to share her story with others on how she overcame some of her difficult life experiences. For her most inspiring, motivational poem, Tamika expresses the life of a young girl who endured so much pain but overcame all those hardships and became a success. She does this in two parts. "Doors," tells how the young girl finally received the one thing she wanted most in life, and how she finally was able to move past the discouragement and move forward with her life. "Recovery," shares how this now young woman has accomplished so much in her life after enduring so many hard struggles. This two part poem is a must read for anyone that is going through difficult times in life and is ready to give up. The main message drawn from the poems is don't let what people do to you affect your life. Put your faith and trust in God as this young girl did and God will give you a blessed life and help you get through all those struggles and tough times in your life. In "Love is Finally Here," after so many bad relationships, cheating men, this young woman has finally found her true soul mate, her perfect man. This man she has been waiting for all her life, the one she let God choose for her, the one who will soon be her husband. The first of its kind, Tamika has established herself as a writer who can passionately motivate and inspire through her writing. Each category reflects the changes she has endured as a young, black woman, mother, companion, friend, business owner, and poet. Indulging, bold and sexy A Whirlwind Life: Genres of Poetry will once again establish Tamika Reynolds as one of the nation's upcoming and remarkable poets.
