Educated in the Public School system in a time when teacher took an active role as alternate parents to those entrusted to them daily, El-R took her first creative writing class in an After-School program under the tutelage of Mrs. Leila BoNey. Through this program, this author's natural flair for writing became immediately apparent to the program director and formed a friendship/mentorship identity that lasted for many years until the untimely passing of El-R's beloved mentor. In addition to her enthusiasm for writing, El-R majored in Commercial Art as a high school student, even graduating from higher education with an AAS in Art & Design from Robert Morris University, Chicago. Throughout her life, El-R Charis has endured many obstacles she credits for fine tuning her craft with a keen level of detail which many people, who have struggled through life's journey, can relate. A Poet who expresses a lifetime of observation, harmony through conflict and ultimately selfacceptance: This openly gay author utilizes words, artistic talents, as well as photography to lay out graphic depictions of the ups and downs of moving through society. El-R's newest endeavor a publishing company, Phi Phe Publications, offer a variety of services from editing to ghostwriting.

Came across this book by chance and decided to take a chance, it is a beautifully written book and the poetry is personal and heartfelt and that’s why I fell in love with some of the poems.
The poetry of this writer is provocatively authentic and captivates the imagination. I have always had an affinity for poetry and this book has become one of my favorites. It's a must read.
My words will not do this book justice! It's beautifully written and there are amazing works of art throughout the pages. Buy! Buy! Buy!
