Journey to Azelfafage is the collected poetry of Anne K. Nagel, who has overcome prejudice and disadvantage to pursue life on her own terms. Each verse represents an important moment in her personal or professional life that changed her future in positive ways, which were not always apparent at the time. Her love of all things celestial is literal and metaphorical. Each thoughtful entry is accompanied by a touching autobiographical explanation of the emotional ups and downs that contributed to the creation of each poem in this compilation. Every piece in this chronology takes the reader on a symbolic journey through good times and bad in a way that allows them to see the world through her eyes. Everything she has had to overcome has made her stronger. The rhymes that helped her find the strength to persevere have been gathered here to motivate and inspire, so that others can find their own way to happiness and fulfillment.
