Out of Order in Order

Have you ever wanted to tell someone something important but didnt know quite what to say? Have you ever felt an emotion but didnt know how to express it? Have you ever been all alone? The fact is, we can all say yes to these questions, but now is the time to realize youre not alone and your words do matter.


Poet Lyvia Barrow expresses a broad range of emotions, for adults and children alike, in her first poetry collection, Out of Order in Order. Sometimes grown-ups forget what its like to be a child; sometimes children dont think grown-ups can appreciate what theyre going through. These poems bridge that gap and make us understand each other.


Something to Think About ponders what love really means. Tears turns sadness into joy. What You Did is an ode to people who belong together. These are the words we dont say out loud. These are the emotions we keep to ourselves, now laid bare. We all have inner struggles, but there is no need to be silent.
