Book Synopsis

Periwinkle is a collection of poems written by Jude Stringfellow, with five additional poems written by her son Reuben Stringfellow during his teen years. Most of the poems written by Jude were reflections of her life as a young adult. Most poems were written when she was younger than 30 years of age with some being added after adulthood. The overall theme of Periwinkle is love, laughter, and living. It can be read all at once or over a period of time. Each poem is a stand-alone poem and can be enjoyed as such.

There are a few proses thrown in for good measure to explain the writings and to give insight to the reader as to the life and interest of the author who is a native Oklahoman, educator, mother, and writer. Jude Stringfellow has continued to write both for a living and for pleasure. She has written more than a dozen books and has published a few in different genres. Periwinkle was created as a pet project of the author to share with her family as a means to remember her after she has passed from this world to the next. Poetry lives within us all, and for some, it is a way of expressing of their love language.
