Publisher's Synopsis
In this carefully-selected collection of poems, readers will explore topics such as love, relationships, childhood, faith, depression, race, hope and more. Cándida the Poet's writing style reflects her multi-cultural upbringing and flows from form to free verse, from spoken word to rap. She puts on paper her most painful experiences, as well as the positive forces that have allowed her to bloom. Readers can open to any page for inspiration, a raw delivery of truth, and a unique perspective on life with the opportunity to relish the writing prompts that allow them to become the poet. Vividly illustrated with artwork by J & J Almanza, there is more than words to spark creativity. Most importantly, it serves to validate the human experiences typically swept under the rug or ignored by most of society. In Waiting on God, Cándida reveals the harsh truths about her life that most expect her to be ashamed of-so that others can know they are not alone, and so you can witness the power that comes from choosing to own your story with confidence. Cándida will be donating 10% of her sales to scholarships for students pursuing college from Detroit.
