Question - Albert Camus once said, “The purpose of a writer
is to keep civilization from destroying itself.” Flannery O’Conner said, “I
write to discover what I know.” Authors across time and distance have had many
reasons to write. Why do you write what you write?
Answer: - I write what I want to read. I write because it’s therapy; it keeps me sane, and because I have something to say. Will it save the world? No. Will it change the world? No. Will it entertain the world? Maybe. I hope so. Will you learn something? Always.
Yes, I share what I know yet learn much, much more. Each story teaches me something new. I hope it will
the reader too. Just a few days ago I released a book of poetry. It's my favorite form of expression and I write it whenever I find myself unable to express my emotions any other way.
I made a promise to my grandmother, and I've finally kept that promise. Will it change the world? No. But it will entertain!

"Yolanda Renée had
reached a new dimension in her writing and tamed some very wild beasts in the
process! This poet has opened her heart, bared her soul, and in the process
created inspiring and uplifting verse. But also raw and terrifying."
Author & Poet Cindy Parker
For Opal is a collection of
100 poems written by Yolanda Renee. Influenced by and in memory of Lilly Opal
Stansberry, her grandmother. Renée's lyrics portray a moment in time.
Highlighting love, loss, tragedy, and survival. There are a few that were
created just for fun and several that have a murderous slant. But they are all
a small picture of life and written from the heart.
