Peer into the mind of journalist, marketer, and singer-songwriter Leslie I. Benson with her new chapbook of original poetry, Emerging: The Collective Poems 2000-2011. Spanning a decade of vulnerability, naivety, empowerment and enlightenment, the 94-page collection will give you a glimpse into a woman’s heart as she tells tales of the lives that have touched hers, and the world she has come to both fear and embrace.
