Rose Hester-Lavenburg & Poems for Benjamin

Rose Hester-Lavenburg’s first book is Poems for Benjamin, A New Mother's Journey. She began writing it when her handsome little boy, Benjamin, was just three months old. He is an inspiration to his mother. Rose has been writing poetry since she was a child. Ms. Hester-Lavenburg is enjoying the self-publishing process, which consisted of help from Geri Hearne of Joy Media out of Chicago.

If you’re looking for a Mother’s Day gift consider Poems for Benjamin. It will be released on Mother’s Day 2011, but copies can be purchased now.  When Rose was asked about the  message of her book she said, “I want parents to feel that they are not alone in the trials and tribulations of child-rearing. And I would like people who are not themselves parents to enjoy reading about expressions of love, joy, loss, and frustration which are so universal in nature.”

Mrs. Hester-Lavenburg often incorporates unique poetry into her day job.  She’s a teacher that uses poems to assist children in learning and hopes society will continue to embrace poetry.
