Kaleidoscope
Patricia Taylor Wells brings us a new collection of poems that represents life's everchanging views. Kaleidoscope is dedicated to those who have forgotten how to love.

LodeStar
LodeStar is a collection of poems that seeks to juxtapose the light and dark moments of life. Patricia Taylor Wells explores the longing of a broken heart as well as the magical power of infatuation.

On the 50th Anniversary of the May 1968 revolt, Patricia takes us on a tour of Paris during that summer of unrest and recounts how she adjusted to living in a foreign country for the first time, from staying in a dorm run by nuns to getting caught in the student-led resurgence on Bastille Day.
