# Conversations: Poems of Life and Love - Hardcover

by **Kathryn Carole Ellison** (Author)

The poems in this book were written over many years as gifts to my children. I began writing them in the 1970s, when they were reaching the age of reason. As I found myself in the position of becoming a single parent, I wanted to do something special to share with them -- something that would become a tradition, a ritual they could count on. And so the Advent Poems began -- one day, decades ago -- with a poem 'gifted' to them each day during the Advent period leading up to Christmas, December 1 to December 24.

All I needed to do was capture the words on paper. "Light," to me represents all that is good and pure and right with the world, and I believed then -- as I do today -- that those elements live in my children, and in all of us. We need only to dare...
