About the Author

Barbara Snell and Anthony Leslie, Jr. combine artistic talents to present a collection of free verse, art, and other writings that invite others to look within and refl ect on their own lives. Penned over several decades, Snell’s poetry explores a variety of themes and subjects that include the marriage of her parents, a son who shares a secret handshake, a daughter that stands straight and tall on her own, an inspiring talk at the Kingdom Hall, a great God that comforts through thick and thin and wishes that make dreams come true. Leslie’s verse lyrically addresses Barbara’s spiritual footprint and a faith in God that never dies. Barbara’s Poems, Art, and Other Fantasies is a collection of writings and artistic creations that share one woman’s perspective on faith, God, family, and life itself.
