Beschreibung

Lupe Duron Dunn learned through her lengthy teaching career that writing provides a person a sense of self and creates a positive outlet. Her own writing is inspired from viewing the world through colors, movements, people, shapes, and other influences. In a collection of poems, short stories, and essays, Dunn begins with free verse shared to lift spirits and encourage souls while reflecting on past moments, present events, and everything in between including the Navajo people, the beauty of Old Glory, the ravages of time, and the goodness of mankind. In eight short stories, Dunn's characters each reveal a moment when life showed them a new way of viewing their experiences. Dunn concludes by sharing personal essays that detail the emotions that accompany visiting sites of old battles, a novice actor as he struggles to find his way, and much more. The Book shares poetry, short stories, personal essays, and illustrations that transcend culture and time to soothe the soul, provide clarity, and remind of the magic of the pen.

Autor

Lupe Duron Dunn, a first-time published author, was born in Mexico. Her family migrated to the United States in 1950, where she, her sister, and her brother attended public schools. Lupe received a full scholarship to the University of La Verne in La Verne, California, where she completed a bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts. Years later, she returned to receive a master's degree in Public Administration. Her career began with teaching elementary school children. After ten years, she moved on to teach incarcerated youths and incarcerated adults for another ten years. Before completing her teaching career, she returns to elementary grades to teach the shelter and homeless children of Orange County School District in California. Mrs. Dunn said, "A person does not go into teaching for the money. Your heart leads you, and the rest will follow." Through her teaching career, she found that writing gives a person a sense of self and creates a positive outlet. She believes writing short stories just for fun or writing an extended essay profoundly affects expressing and encouraging students not to be fearful of the writing process. Each individual has a voice in expressing themself through the magic of the pen. We bring our uniqueness to the printed word, and our inspirations come from different sources, such as nature, environments, spirit, and other writers. Therefore, thoughts and expressions result in written words; these words transition from empty spaces into a sea of knowledge. Mrs. Dunn, what inspired you, "My inspirations come from seeing the world in which we live: colors, movements, people, shapes, and whatever surrounds me." Finally retired from her extensive educational career, Lupe enjoys traveling with her husband and family in the states and abroad. James Mario Doiron was born and raised in Southern California in the 60s. His love for arts started in early childhood. He enjoys sketching during his free time. His choice of medium is acrylic paint, and he loves experimenting with color. The inspiration for his art comes from travels and family experiences. His favorite artists are Monet and Van Gogh.
