New Description: Dawn to Dusk is the third
book of poetry published by students of Clearview
Christian Girls Middle School. Who are the Clearview
Girls? They are young adolescents, finding their
creative voice in their writing. Their poems are
happy and sad, joyous and angry, light and dark.
Their writing covers the gambit of youthful emotions
which stretch from dawn to dusk. Central to Clearview
s educational philosophy is the belief that students
must know that their opinions matter, and that their
reflections and thoughts have intrinsic value.
Research conducted by the Wellesley College Center
for Research on Women was presented in the ground
breaking report entitled: How Schools Short Change
Girls. This report, published by the American
Association of University Women, as well as the
nationally acclaimed book by Dr. Mary Pipher,
entitled Reviving Ophelia, supports this concept.
Teaching,
editing, writing, re-writing, and polishing the
poetry of these young poets has touched me with a
smiling enchantment for the genuine quality of
their finished poems. These student poets have
worked hard and earned every right to be called
“published poets.”
Many of them have won local awards for
their work and will read before the Mayor of Maui
County.
These
girls, still in their early teenage years,
continuously raise the bar and surprise all who
read their work with their maturity and depth. In
class, I am always happily confronted with the
solid basic talent they exude. Many demonstrate a
talent that has the potential of growing to
greatness in their adult lives.
Who knows but one day one of these girls
may become a Pulitzer Prize winner or Poet
Laureate!
Their
inspiration is found in the universal themes of
freedom, friendship and young blooming love, but
they also dare to tackle the injustice and the
hardships of the society we live in today.
This
book is a must read for everyone who works with,
lives with, or cares about young people.
It gives all of us a good feeling about the
positive attitude of this generation and renewed
hope for the future.

has the wherewithal to surpass oneself in life by suiting up, showing up,
and following through. She makes her home in Maui, Hawaii. You may visit

Editing and working closely together with author Ayin Adams to give this book its final shape was a unique experience. Ayin allowed me to walk beside her through her fire. Line by line I became an accomplice of the pain and the passion, the joy and the hurt, the defeat and the triumph, the despair and the hope. Walking Through My Fire covers an important chapter in her life. It is a showcase of Ayin's determination with which she walked the long road from early childhood in Brooklyn New York, to slowly growing throughout all the passages of life into the mature, whole, strong, positive human being she is today. Ayin has created for herself, a future full of positive, spiritual strength surrounded by the healing beauty of Maui. Walking Through My Fire is a poetic manifesto of a journey through the past, arriving in the now and looking fearlessly forward into the veiled mystery of the
future.
Chronologically this book could have been published before "The Woods Deep Inside Me," yet often among life's road, it is good to stop, look back, make peace with the years and the scars that lay behind and then move ahead. It takes guts to do that, and Ayin Adams has done just that. Readers who have been enchanted by the soul poetry of the first book will easily surrender to the emotional power of "Walking through my Fire".Beware, for it might feel as if a twister has hit you!
