By Charlotte Herzele

New Journalism Project is pleased to announce the publication of Sometimes a Great Emotion, a second collection of poetry by Austin writer Charlotte Herzele. It is the second collection of Herzele’s poetry under the NJP Publishing imprint. These poems reflect the author’s rich and varied journey through life with keen observation, heartfelt grief, humor, and joy.  You can find the professor, the belly dancer, the Tarot reader, the loving partner, and the joyful grandmother on these pages. Above all, Charlotte’s words reflect her zest for living. The book is available on Amazon.

“Charlotte’s keen ability to observe and commune with nature on her neighborhood walks provides the ingredients of powerful poetry.  Charlotte’s unique voice is on display in this collection as she opens a window to her life and invites her readers in.” — Alyce Guynn, author of Echoes of Mercy: Psalms from the Marrow Bone and Deal Me In (illustrated by Jesse Taylor).

“A kaleidoscope of colors and change, living and loss, laughter and tears.  Her writing soothes and swaddles us in soft colors, it shines hope and resolve, it is a declaration of willingness to continue, it is, indeed, magical.” — Kim Dallesandro, author of Dream Maker, The Seduction of Solitude, Trains, and Oklahoma, Steam.
