Author Description

By day, C-suite executives hire Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter to convert ambiguity into clarity - to cultivate their personal brands. Out of this day-in, day-out writing rigor has emerged a fervency for poetic expression - to express emotions in the moment. This urge to wax poetic has liberated her feelings into rhythmic clarity across thousands of poems. Most of Jacqui's poetry is imbued with water-related images from her husband, Rob's, and her lifestyle on North Padre Island as well as their years at Lake Texoma, Texas. Further exhilarating this poetic journey has been the generous and uplifting feedback from friends, family, clients and even people she never met. They share how she helped put their thoughts and feelings into words, expressing their emotion through visual content that not only validates their feelings, but also imbues them with hope and optimism. Traversing the soliloquies of the pelican to the wafting warm waves of the ocean, and beyond, this carefully curated collection of more than 100 of Jacqui's favorite poems offers soul-steadying verses of confidence and joy, amid the struggles of your every day.
