My poetry is a reflection of the journey of my soul in particular time and space that brings magic to my life. It is often thought-provoking as it interrogates, shares, brings into perspective, writes back, questions, talkback, defends, speaks out, brings close, teaches, shows gratitude, understands, nurtures, remembers, dreams, honors, gives hope, cherishes and above all Heal and LOVE. It is a medium through which the creative energies of ancestral legacies flow in their relentlessness to provide immense satisfaction while transforming what I feel to a clearly defined outcome. The poems coalesce with the sacred arts of the Vèvè that offer the testimony of spiritual powers. The Vèvè art design on the cover of the book is my own artistic expression that merges art and poetry. It is Erzili, the Lwa of love; she stands as the reminder that the heart's ancestral memory guides us and transforms the obstacles to personal peace. It is a statement of my freedom, an act of faith rooted in tradition. It is a celebration of our common ground to create harmony. In this poetry book, Finding Ezili, the Lwa of love, I have added the love poems of my father William Francois Mitchell to my mother Anne-Marie Solages, nascent to their love for each other. I am honoring the lessons and love they share with me. The poems in this book are in English, French, Haitian Kreyòl, and Spanish. These poems are expressed in languages that I have learned.
