This Is Life
Ebook
To say "life isn't fair" is an understatement. As human beings, we endure grief and hardships that nearly take our breath away, and there are so many moments where we cannot begin to understand the why behind our suffering. To face loss, toxic relationships, addiction, insecurity, exhaustion, aging, and the ugliness of the world around us may shake our faith and weaken our resolve, but in the end, we are a resilient lot and somehow find strength through nature, laughter, and our own fierce determination to keep fighting the good fight. This Is Life holds the tough and tender moments of daily living and gives us the validation and connection we seek in each other so that we never have to say, "Am I the only one?"
“This Is Life left me gobsmacked. The author uses words so artfully, so honestly, that you will think surely she has walked in your shoes. I promise you this: as you read, you’ll recognize yourself or someone you care about. Arvilla Fee’s words give voice to feelings that are difficult to articulate, and even harder to share. Wounded hearts will be consoled and encouraged by the knowledge that there really are those who understand.”
—Diane Moore, former public school teacher
“I thoroughly enjoyed reading Arvilla Fee’s imagery-rich collection of poems. Through Fee’s poetic lens, the ordinary is transformed into extraordinary. The eight parts of This Is Life cover the peaks and valleys of human experience and beyond. With universal themes like loss, grief, addiction, abuse, love gone cold, social media, aging, and resilience despite adversity, any reader would be able to relate to these thought-provoking and lyrical poems.”
—YinFong P. Chafins, retired journalist
