THE 'I AM' SERIES

Christina A. Sharik: The 'I Am' Series

This soft-cover book contains a beautifully reflective collection of poems that provides the reader with a unique perspective about emotions and realities that are usually silent and internal... about war and its consequences, life and living, and family. The inclusion of photographs is an unexpected bonus and underscores the emotions and reality that is inherent in each poem.

Although not stated, the book is a clear and poignant dedication to Veterans and their families in particular.

"The 'I AM' Series" is definitely a value-for-money book of undeniable worth and merit... a MUST read – and a MUST own! I look forward to successive books in the 'I AM" series, and other books by this wonderfully talented American poet!

Christina A. SharikChristina is known as ArmyMom on the Internet and has been published in a number of Veterans' periodicals and magazines, newsletters and a Newspaper in Texas. Her poems have been read at a number of ceremonies in the States over the last several years. They are also used in schools in the States - once as the basis for a play on Viet Nam, in an elementary school as the theme for a Veterans' Day writing assignment, and in a book on "Remembering" veterans of all wars, her poem Boots was the front page for the Korean/Viet Nam section of the book - Christina was invited to read a poem at the Moving Wall in Tampa, Florida in April, 2001.

Christina believes that poems bring out feelings people have hidden for quite some time. "Anything that can make someone think a bit about the veterans is a good thing."
