A Kind of Yellow is a chapbook of 25 poems by Patricia Lee Lewis, MFA, Pushcart Prize nominee and founder of Patchwork Farm Writing Retreat. The poems tell a loosely consistent story, beginning with a little girl in Texas, and move through her pregnancy at 16, birth of her son, his mental illness and suicide. A Kind of Yellow won First Place for poetry in the Writer’s Digest’s 13th Annual International Self-published Book Competition.As award-winning poet Richard Jackson said of some of these poems, “…there is movement from the physical to the transcendent, from the self outward, and each poem gathers definitions as it moves along, like lines or images in a poem.” The book becomes in itself, a poem.
Patricia leads creative writing retreats throughout the United States and at sacred sites around the world – Guatemala, Mexico, Africa, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Spain, Puerto Rico, New Zealand, Zimbabwe, and Costa Rica.
