Let Me Tell You About This Book I Just Read.... Top Story - March 2023.
When R.C. Taylor reached out to me to offer to send me a copy of her brand new chapbook to read and review, I was so excited! (Also a bit nervous, to be honest, since book reviews are not something I have previously published on Vocal haha)

Amidst the trees and birds and bees, The rustling leaves and gentle breeze, The beauty of nature surrounds us all, In every season, in every fall.

Last love, a bittersweet refrain, A melody that lingers in the brain, A love that's different from the rest, A love that stands the ultimate test.

The Story Of A Rich Man And A Poor
Once upon a time, in a small village nestled between mountains, there lived two men. One was a wealthy merchant named Alok and the other was a poor farmer named Ram. Alok had everything he could ever want - a luxurious house, a fancy car, and expensive clothes. Ram, on the other hand, lived in a small hut and had to work hard every day to make ends meet.
