This is My Life: Lynn Robinson Camp

Autobiographical collection of Poetry. I wrote the 1st poem in this collection when I was 17 years old. After submitting my poetry to several publishers when I was 19 years old I abandoned the pursuit for achieving other goals. I never gave up writing as it was my way of dealing with life, especially physical and emotional abuse. Most of the poems in the collections were written during the years when I was a young woman married to an abusive husband. Written poems helped keep me sane during those years. After my divorce, I write a poem from time to time and threw it into a file. After many years, my son encouraged me to pull out the file, edit the poems, and publish them. I had recently lost my mother and long-time companion. I was depressed. I submitted my poems to my blog and subsequently wrote a few more poems. This brought me out of the depression. I hope that these poems can find their way to other woman who are experiencing life challenges and encourage them.
