Why-R-Us
Introducing Martine Weber, a poet on ILLUMINATION — Medium
Martine Weber is a poet and writer who lives in the Netherlands. She studied Philosophy and Public Management in Leiden, the Netherlands, and at Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana.
Her creative reflections from looking at everything in different ways are generating unique and different insides into life’s mysteries. She literally sees poems in everything.
She is blessed with a healthy dose of self-mockery. Her compelling and illuminating poetic writings, rich with imagery, philosophical and spiritual themes, with a compassionate wink at human nature, have been published in various publications on Medium.
Let me introduce Martine’s an excellent book.
I invite Martine to share the sample chapters of this book for the readers of ILLUMINATION Book Chapters.
Why-R-Us
“Why-R-Us is a unique collection of heartfelt poetry that is meant to give you a positive feeling or alternative view on the world or life during hardship. Martine Weber writes from her heart.”
I came across a review post by Beatus submitted on 30 Dec 2020, 04:25 on the official site of OnlineBookclub. The review of “Why-R-Us?” by Martine Weber. rated 4 out of 4 stars.
“Today’s world is so turbulent, probably like never before. With the current global economic and political situation, the pandemic seems to have added to the already ruined society’s way of life. In times like these, what humanity needs is hope for a better future. A future where the world community can meet its challenges with unity, hope, and certainty. Martine Weber’s Why-R-Us? is a beautiful book of poems of hope and positivity. Martine searched her heart as she reflected on the crumbling world around her. She noticed the sorrow, loneliness, and panic of millions in isolation because of the pandemic. This book is a beautiful composition of different poems that touch the heart and provide hope.”
In addition to writing, Martine is also a songwriter and composer under her pseudonym Sofie Weber.
I interviewed Martine last years as part of community activity for ILLUMINATION publication on Medium.
