Poet releases pamphlet for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is May twelfth and if you’re still looking for that special gift for mom, why not give her a “Certificate of Motherhood”. The anthology of twenty-one poems, which speaks about a single mother’s love, that of a married mother, and the love of a dying mother, is written by Belizean teacher/poet Norman Rodriguez.

Norman Rodriguez, Teacher/Poet

“And I decided to bring it out at this time of the year because it’s near Mother’s Day, and I guess people will be looking for a way to express how they feel for their mothers. This is timed perfectly because the words are there for people to use and you could purchase one of the books and…they will find a poem in there that will express their feelings. Motherhood is a little more challenging than my first book, which was about love, because motherhood is not something I can say I’ve had the personal experience, except for what I’ve seen within the society.”

Copies of the poetry book, “Certificate of Motherhood”, can be purchased at Heritage Publishing, number twenty-seven South Street in Belize City. Telephone number 207-2843.
