In her writing of Poetically Speaking--100 or So Poems, Irene Senior-Pomeroy addresses the whimseys, misadventures and triumphs of all age groups. She criss-crosses humor with pathos in ballads, sonnets, haikus and a wide variety of other poetic forms. Extensive travel to Europe, The Orient and across North America gives her ease in lending a universal tone to her writings. She holds two graduate degrees from Columbia University in New York City. From her varied experiences in education, the health field and professional theatre she weaves farcical and emotion-provoking incidences throughout her poetry. She introduces each chapter of her book with a self-doodled illustration descriptive of the chapter theme. These poems from Poetically Speaking--100 or So Poems express love, nostalgia, heightened sensitivities, political satire and often brink on naughtiness. This patchwork quilt style of writing and reading of poetry attracts a diverse group of readers and audiences.
Harlem residents develop a block association to deflect unwholesome activity in their neighborhood. Their diverse backgrounds, blurred sense of loyalties and precarious friendships magnify problems brought upon them from within and without. Through humor they survive an erosion of their values, exposure of family secrets and deadly street violence.
