Author Stresses Individuality and Uniqueness by Releasing The Poetess Within



May 4, 2005 -- Stacia Shaina Star shares her intimate beliefs and questions with inspirational poetry collection.

Stacia Shaina Star welcomes you on a special journey into her world of wonder, reflection, and exploration where you might discover your own true self. Thus is the meaning and inspiration behind her poetry collection, The Poetess Within.

The collection offers perspectives, observations, and questions of what it is to live life as a human being and all the personal discoveries that can be found along the way. This work is meant to form a rainbow of sorts where each individual poem shines in its own unique color.

In addition to this, The Poetess Within encourages everyone to take pleasure in their own uniqueness. "I hope that by sharing my perspectives and voicing questions, that other people will contemplate their own unique roles in life," says Star, who has been seriously composing poetry for over 15 years. "I hope that we learn to appreciate and celebrate each other's unique perceptions and contributions as vital elements to enrich our lives."

The book also contains various insights and questions meant to reflect a wide range of emotions, such as anger, sorrow, and jubilation. When reading her poetry, Star asks "that you remain open and examine why you feel the way you do." Therefore, she hopes people will feel something and explore that feeling to get a better sense of their own identity.

Poetry has always been a way for Star to express herself as she began composing poems to deal with a troubled childhood growing up. Star, who is diagnosed with having Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder), explains she began her work "as a healing process to confront painful memories from the past." She also hopes her collection will inspire others to believe that they can do anything despite what society might think.

All she asks is that you enjoy the journey.
