Long time resident releases poetry book

Her work appears regularly in the Amandala and her words have entertained readers for a number of years. Today, American retiree Anne K. Lowe released an anthology of poems called “Liberated.” Her musings touch on subjects ranging from the beauty of nature to crime and violence. News Five caught up with the poet at the Library of African and Indian Studies this morning and she told us that within the pages of the book, readers will find the wisdom of experiences garnered over her lifetime.

Anne K. Lowe, Poet
?Well I have it divided into three parts. The first part is about Belize and it?s mostly nature poems because I live up in the bush with the animals, the snakes, and I have a large number of dogs and cats, somebody was always giving me puppies and kittens.?

?The second part is about my childhood memories. Including how I related to things like my father. And one of them is about the great depression in the 1930?s because that is why my father lost his business.?

?Who would you want to read your poetry book??

Anne K. Lowe, Poet
?My relatives, my friends, anybody else that might be interested. It?s not all about the same thing you know. You get over into some of those things about people in criminal activities, it?s a little different. I don?t think some people would want the kiddies to read that, but some of the things in the first part, they?ve used several of my poems in the schools. One called ?God Bless? and another one, ?Belizean Grocery? and there is another one called ?Our Jobs?, those were about Belize.?

“Liberated” was published by Ramos Publishing, a local company owned and operated by journalist Adele Ramos. Lowe has pledged the proceeds of her book to fund scholarships to the University of Belize. “Liberated” is available for fifteen dollars at the Angelus Press and Brodies.
