Ambition

by Janet Morris

Ambition is the second poetry collection published by Janet Morris. Poems range from love poems to poems about the insecurity to being disabled in a world built by and for abled individuals. As with The Dark Lady, her first collection, current events, mental illness, past traumas, an overactive imagination, and present and future joy inspired the writing of these poems.

Most poems are done in a free style technique. There is some language in the poems that may not be suitable for those under the age of 16, though most younger teens will likely be familiar with the terms. Poems also reference topics such as rape, infertility, sex and intimacy, self-injury, violent behavior, being disabled, and various feelings of insecurity and anxiety. Discretion is advised.

About the author

Janet Morris is a writer, content creator, jewelry designer, soap maker, and artist living in Huntsville, Alabama with her family and her dachshund-shaped cat. Janet is a fan of Taylor Swift, trashy romance novels, air conditioning, documentaries, hanging out in cemeteries, ice water, cheese, and chocolate. You might find her in a museum being followed by security for pointing out that a painting has her favorite color (purple) in it. It happens. A lot. Janet sells her wares on the internet under the name Silver Sky by Janet. Also, she’s a redhead so she regularly hisses at the sun.
