Dancing to a Different Tune
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
An honest look at the wisdom of an older woman and a discourse on the thoughts, fears and joys of a path well-travelled. Words are used sparingly but with maximum effect and even the shortest piece conveys all the passion and truthfulness intended by the author. Written by someone who is clearly able to distill the essence of every experience and find the thread of commonality that links all of us whatever our gender, race or religion. The themes of dance and music art forms are constantly played upon and run as a thread through much of the works - a reflection of the author's philosophy of life. The passion that infuses all of the pieces demonstrates the author's ability to touch her own emotional and spiritual centre and it is that that makes the connection with the reader.

About the Book
Dancing to a Different Tune is the fifth book of poetry by the author, a mystic and a realist; a woman who is, perhaps, complicated but not conflicted. This book also includes her personal prose reflections - an honest "talking out loud" as if she is actually sitting right in front of you having a conversation.
Her words have an immediate impact, both clear and insightful, into the emotional world of men and women and she speaks in a way that reaches out to everyone regardless of gender or race.
This book is the reflection of a multi-talented, creative artist who somehow manages to pull you quickly into her heart and mind and at the same time plunges you into yours - perhaps to places you've never been before..
About the Author
Victoria Braham Sarne Born and educated in London, England & emigrated to Canada in 1967 with her doctor husband and baby daughter in the "brain drain". Her life in Canada included a son being born, eventually a second marriage, standing as a political candidate, building a successful corporate career, owning her own business, establishing a shelter for abused women and freelance writing. In 1990 as a single woman again she worked in St. Kitts, then Barbados and since then has lived and worked in Nassau, The Bahamas. In 2009 she will return to live in Canada. She has previously published four books of poetry and has been published in three issues of POUI (the University of the West Indies annual publication). This is her fifth book of poetry and reflections. She is currently working on a collection of essays and autobiography. She says"It is my intention when writing to see how quickly I can bring the listener into my head and my heart and thus make that person touch his or her own emotional and spiritual centre. The dark poems are written when I have been to that silently black place of despair and disappointment and returned - happiness is earned". vsarne@gmail.com
