Mixtape Venus is a poetry chapter book that explores the many roles that women play and the notion that every aspect of our lives requires patience, endurance, and love if our lives are to benefit others.  The inspiration to live with passion and hope often comes in the form of music. Melodies and lyrics haunt and lift us, enchant and revive us, compel us to define and redefine ourselves in myriad ways in an ever-changing world.
