- About Me and My Book:
- Sylvia Larane Green (Chatman), poet/author of GIFT OF LIFE, is a gifted Christian and inspirational poet as well as a gospel songwriter and graphic designer, who owns the design, print, and publishing company, Distinguished Design and Publishing. She has been composing inspiring verse for family, friends, and others for over 15 years. She began writing poetry in her late teens when she accepted Christ into her life and made a conversion over from creating secular rap lyrics. She has written many secular, inspirational, and religious poems—rhymed and unrhymed—though she is partial to rhyme. She is an avid reader and demonstrates passion for her writing. Sylvia strives for excellence in all of her endeavors.
Sylvia has published her works in various newsletters, For Crying Out Loud, The Greater Capital Area Journal, Cross and Quill, and Handmaidens Webzine; and newspapers, The Southern Digest and National African American News (NAAN). She has also read her poetry at numerous church programs (youth days, pastor Anniversaries, convocations, etc.), poetry readings at the John B. Cade Library of Southern University and A & M College, the Summer Youth Culmination program at the Riverside Centroplex Arena, and the Baton Rouge Art Gallery in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Also, one of her favorite poems, "Gift to the Earth," is featured in the anthology, Gumbo for the Soul. For more information, visit www.gumboforthesoul.com.
Sylvia recently released her first book of poems, GIFT OF LIFE, which is available to purchase for $9.95 at www.cafepress.com/sylvialg. GIFT OF LIFE, is an exceptional collection of poetry that reminds us how we are blessed with the "gift of life" and should make the most of it. Divided into three sections, Living for Self, Living for Others, and Living for God, this book covers subjects such as self-esteem, hope, success, love, relationships, and service to God and to others. It holds a word for all who read it. With her powerfully optimistic messages, Sylvia helps us discover deeper meaning for our lives. She is currently working on her second collection, Spiritual Treasures.

Poetry Is...
"Poetry is glimpses of the mind's imagination, whispers of the heart's meditation, samples of the soul's inspiration." –Sylvia Larane Green

Poem Excerpt from book, Gift of LIfe
A SINGLE LIFE
I only have a single life to live;
To the world I strive my utmost to give.
I aim to shed joy in another’s life––
Attempt to carry peace where abides strife.
I unselfishly spread my love abroad;
My existence I want not to be void.
I wish to lead people in the right direction––
Of positiveness be a reflection.
I desire to serve my fellow man,
Aiding him in any manner I can.
If I can manage to influence someone,
It will be a great deed to have done.

I would like to connect with you there also. I am trying to make more friends and fans so that I can spread awareness for breast cancer during pregnancy. I was diagnosed Stage 3 in the 5th month of my pregnancy in May. My status updates on Facebook and LinkedIn are usually about my fight.
