Golden Guest: Gabriela Marie Milton editor of Hidden In Childhood

Please help me in welcoming back writer/editor Gabriela Marie Milton as she introduces her new poetry anthology Hidden In Childhood. ‘Gabriela Marie Milton #1 Amazon Best-Selling Author, 2019 Author of the Year at Spillwords Press NYC; internationally published poet; poetry collections Woman: Splendor and Sorrow (Vita Brevis Pres, July 27, 2021); Passions: Love Poems and Other Writings (Vita Brevis Press, April, 2020)’. In Gabriela’ words, “This anthology contains the most mesmerizing, as well as the most heart-wrenching verses one has ever read. It must be said from the beginning chat chis is not a poetry collection for children. The pages you will read memorialize the beauty and magic of childhood - remembrance of love and fairytales - as well as its ugliness - abuses, poverty - that unfortunately still exist in our world. The strength of this poetry collection is the capacity of its authors to blur the line between childhood and adulthood. Whether the authors talk about joyful memories or sadly abusive childhood, the effect is stunning. We do not know anymore where childhood stops, and adulthood starts.”
