About the Authors:
Although Minerva Bloom and Angela Mary Piraino collaborated, created, and designed their first book, "Jewels," their synergism continued to flourish with their second, "Hope, and the Heart of Gritty Sand." The former, a collection of various art forms, and songs for children; the latter, a collection of poetry and photography from various geographical sites: an in-depth examination by Angela, of the moods and emotions elicited from Minerva's images of nature, natural phenomena, wildlife, pets, urban scenes, inspirations from children, and abstracts.
“I often wonder about the creators of timeless art. What and who inspired such works? For me, writing comes in a flash of realization, a lesson I've now learned, staring me in the face, catapulted from an object with no significance, through nature, children, or my associates, who have profoundly affected me existentially, impacting my psyche, slipping into the subconscious. Through this collection of poems and photography, I hope you, too, will have the flash of realization, unique to your life.”
--Angela Mary Piraino.
“When I write or make art, I'm in a state of enchantment, and this state is one of certainty. Where else is yourself to be found? Always in the deepest enchantment that you have experienced. For me, it is about enjoying the process of creation. Talk of method and style seems trivial: I want simply to witness and experience the world around me. I take photographs, create art, and write, because it is a vital thing for me to do."
—Minerva Bloom
