There's several periods in your life that you are your most heartbroken, your most hurt, your happiest, your most inspired, your most self-destructive, your angriest and your most loved. During some of these most pivotal times in my life, writing them down and transforming them into poems, helped me to move forward to be the greatest version of myself today with bigger aspirations to be even greater.

Her work began at the age of fourteen and has been chronologically documented by date keeping up with current events both personally and globally. This autobiographical collection was compiled into a self-published book covering the years of 1977-2003 entitled: A Part of Me For that Part of You. Now comes the following eight years during which swift changes have occurred for Ms. Louise personally and politically. This new title, Poetically Correct: Banned by The Free Press, was assumed, due to an encounter with a newspaper, after many years of publishing her work with them, in which they claimed that 'freedom of the press' had only to do with... the freedom of publishers to pick and choose what they would and wouldn't print.

Like teas? Like Victoriana? This is the poetry book for you! For here you will find a collection of the poetic works of Karen Michelle Raines, from the philosophical to the frivolous, covering everything from September 11 to teas, with love poems and personal reflections mixed in.

I (sincerely yours) have learned in life that with great discomfort and misunderstanding comes great change. With this change, everyone tries to be as politically correct as possible, but they neglect to truly understand or embrace the evolution and passion of humanity and the human consciousness. Through great meditation, I came up with the title Poetically Correct because it fully describes the nature of thought and evolution of humanity. These poems are the embodiment of that. With all power to God, the universal energy or greater power, I intend to express the best way I can the conscious thought that has been given to me throughout my life. Under the United States First Amendment, I exclusively exercise my rights to freedom of speech. These are the thoughts, views, and internal consciousness of sincerely yours.
