Unbutton My Heart 

The Story of Poetry Art by Launa

I (Launa) have had myriads of people ask me for a written account of my story, experiences and the background of Poetry Art.  I had it in my mind to do a new book that focused on these things, yet having two little girls at home (24/7) since 2002 made that kind of project seem beyond daunting.  This last year, with Fonda in first grade and Fauve (still at home) but an incredibly adept nap taker, I was able to accomplish this task.  It was amazing how well the recollections flowed from my "MOMnesia" laden brain to the computer keyboard, once I began.

The book, entitled, "Unbutton My Heart" is truly a labor of love.  Unbutton is my most deep and personal endeavor to date, as it tells my story, warts and all.  It is 250 pages of sweet, charming, painful and victorious snippets of a life led-if I may say so myself!  It is now available for purchase and I am booking personal appearances, book signings, exhibitions and (my personal passion,) speaking events.  Anyone interested in having me come to their church, school, synagogue, gallery or community event, contact:  Poetryartist@yahoo.com or call, 928-533-5965
