    About this audiobook

    In her first published work, A Modern Day Black Woman's Book of Poetry, Volume 1: Two Decades of Growth and Change, Shamar Starks-Ward shares heart, soul, experiences, and changing points of view with her cherished listeners.

    These poems are an unapologetic collection from the ink pin of a Black woman that range from the immature perspective of an 18-year-old with an old soul to a mature 42-year-old that has weathered many storms, joys, pains, loss, and gains. Here, you will witness a growth and change in perception as well as poetic expression.
