“Debra Warren has appropriately titled her book of poetry
"˜Pausing to Catch My Breath’. The pages depict this mother
and grandmother as someone who I would personally love
to sit across from at a kitchen table with a huge pot of tea
and talk for hours.

Her style implements simple vocabulary with an honest
appeal, yet her work is astoundingly moving. This is the kind
of poetry that I like to read at a slow pace in order to allow
the statements to really sink in. "˜I think’ is a good example of
what I mean. "˜Today’ challenges readers to see beyond the
mundane, by considering what others are experiencing that
very moment. "˜Its Never Too Late’ was a moving piece about
many kinds of incarceration. I related with "˜Trapped’,
especially where she wrote, “I am trapped inside a body that
betrays”. "˜Pausing to Catch My Breath’ is a particularly
beautifully written piece. I hope to retain in memory my
favorite line of this poem, “Hearing the music, I dance to my
yesterdays”. Debra also displays an appealing sense of
humor in her work. I loved the imagery of viewing cruel and
stupid people as “human speed bumps” along the road of
life.

"˜Pausing to Catch My Breath’ most certainly displays
Debra’s ability to use uncomplicated prose to create deep
emotion, intellectual thought and crisp images.”
