A Mixing Pot of Poems for Thought includes stories and insights from Lauren Stikeleather's life as she navigates and draws on the many things she observes to be true in the world and in the people around her. Her poems show how we are all more similar than we think.

This book explores the intersections of love and time, forgiveness and healing, humanity and change, and optimism and understanding. In her collection, Lauren proves that rhyming is not just meant for children's books-her work demonstrates how employing a sense of rhyme and rhythm can result in a mature and eloquent form of poetry.
