This recording is the presentation I was asked by Kim Glover (Founder of NW Alabama Music Publishing) to prepare for the April 2020 award ceremony. My entries, the poetry book Double Helix and the CD Spoken Dovesongs Vol. 1, won the Poetry Contest sponsored by the Friends of the Lexington Alabama Public Library.

Because of Covid-19 restrictions that began at that time, the event had to be canceled, but Kim plans on using this recording for future poetry workshops.

In this album, I tell you the story of how God, the Source of all life and gifts, led me from writing poetry to poetically adapting Scripture with lyrics set to music, and subsequently to spoken songs with lyrics read to background music. Only in hindsight have I seen His hand in the interventions to make this possible, including marriage to my beloved husband, Dave, whose voice can be heard on the Dovesong albums.

You will learn how God began preparing and training me from my early years. You will also hear samples of the works as I explain why analogies and details are so important in the craft of poetry and songwriting.

I will read a poem from Double Helix and read a song, “He Carries Us Gently” from Spoken Dovesongs Vol. 1. “Many waters cannot quench love” from Song of Songs 8:7, is my theme for both the poetry and songs. Many waters cannot quench our love for those we have lost, nor God’s love for us and our love for Him. To God be the glory!
