Flowerchild, Oscar Kamazima's second collection and his best work yet, is a fusion of self-love meets poetic magic. This collection is not only about a person learning/forced to grow by the world but also allowing themselves to grow even in the midst of all that goes around. Giving themselves the room for self-growth, self-care, and to be able to love themselves authentically in a crooked society/period. Flowerchild resembles more than a specific gender or ethnicity; it symbols truth in oneself and overcoming adversity.

Dr. Ellicott has always been a lover of animals, especially dogs. She loved all the ones in her possession, starting with Bingo, then Shelly, then Teddy, then Andrew, and now TEKO! She loved them all and had a place in her heart for each of them! TEKO, who had traveled from North Carolina to a New Jersey shelter, was asleep when Dr. Ellicott first saw him. The sign on his cage said TKO (Total Knock Out). When they first met, he was a "gentleman" and acted like a "gift from heaven"! He always wanted to please and followed commands well. He is extremely intelligent and has a phenomenal memory for people and places. His empathy is profound. He seems to read her emotions. Dr. Ellicott discovered that TEKO wanted to be a service dog. She needed help with balancing and directions. She was recovering from progressive heart failure, said to be caused by he having had Lyme disease. TEKO, by nature, appeared to be caring for her difficulties.

Who...or what...was Bobbie Ross running from? Or had someone forced her to "disappear"? Matthew Ross was almost as worried about her as her friend Phyllis Vincent. Bobbie's mother Lesley Frobisher didn't seem to be worried at all, but then Lesley never worried about anything, not even herself. Sam Macklin could testify to that, or he could have, until a week ago. So, could Mario Williams, Macklin's right hand at the Marrakesch Casino. As for Bucky Wallace, the drifter Matt Ross gave a lift into town to, no one could figure out what his connection was to any of it. Not Dells, the cop. Not Ed Gurney, Assistant D. A. and Phyllis'sboyfriend. Not even Pete Hudson, the part-time private eye Phyllis hired to find Bobbie. The only one who seemed to know anything was a local Reno private snoop name Pinky, and he wasn't talking. Well, not at first, anyway.

This book is a compilation of Christian poems written from my heart in the hopes of inspiring at least one person. I know that I won't reach everyone, but if I could change a single soul's point of view it will all be worth it. I've seen folks read my poems and laugh, I've seen them read them and cry, emotion is the main purpose of any writer and once it's achieved we have reached our ultimate goal. I hope you enjoy.
