The poems in The Journey to Here are wise and often whimsical some are dark as obsidian, others crystal clear with the joy of life. Jo Baker is a born storyteller, a lover of language and a strong woman whos not afraid to confront and write about lifes challenges. Baker combines rich details, sharp observations and a wild imagination with rhythm and rhyme in this memorable collection of poems. Jude Aquilina Joanne Bakers life changed dramatically after a car accident deprived her of her mobility. However, the enforced leisure allowed her to give voice to her experiences this is the voice she has allowed us to hear in The Journey to Here. This, her first book of poetry, is the story of her journey through life through the dark times, the lighter times, until the present. Her struggles and observations have enabled her to become more assured in her approach to living, to find the lighter side of her present times. Many readers will identify with the insights and decisions made on each stage of her journey. This may be Joannes first anthology I doubt it will be her last.
