This Life and Three More

A collection of poems, essays and musings by Kathleen Scott. Painstakingly written over four decades, “This Life and Three More” is a creative compilation of feelings, observations and perspectives on both the everyday occurrences and the life-altering tragedies that have made up Scott’s life thus far. In “He, She, They, We,” Scott explores the dynamics of family discord. In “Putting it in Neutral,” the author puts into words the internal vacillation between the desire to rest in later years with the impulse to remain in full throttle mode. Told from her uniquely feminine point of view, Scott captures not only what it is to be a woman, but what it means to be daughter, sibling, wife, mother and friend. Every woman will be able to relate to the complex awareness and experiences so truthfully portrayed on these pages. Scott’s genuine voice resounds with authenticity, enabling the reader to know that they are not alone in their own experiences and viewpoints. Lightly illustrated, this lyrical book of writings offers solace, insight and simple reading pleasure.
