A People Potpourri: ...In Verse and Poetry Paperback – December 13, 2016

Insightful and incisive, spiced with humor, tempered with poignancy, an account of a life richly lived, Izzy's eloquent words take us through a journey of our own as we read, spellbound, savoring the gamut of emotions left in the wake of each poem. Her writing is broad in scope covering the immediate environs as well as the world at large, mingling personal day to day encounters with people, animals and the many gifts of nature, as well as larger than life personalities such as Mother Teresa who have shaped her life. At the same time it is a journey deep into one's self seeking deep spiritual truth. Joy of life meets impending transition to an existence beyond, in bittersweet congruence. The stark honesty with which she displays her experiences and perceptions is manna to my soul in this era of deception and hypocrisy. Izzy you have done it again with this magnificent book. May your words continue to flow and shower us with your talent and your wisdom.

Well, Izzy Hunter has done it again! Out of the wealth of her experiences and the wisdom of her interactions with people, she's created another book--another great book! The beauty of her offerings is that she truly seems to understand the ups and downs--the triumphs and tragedies of the human experience. In A People Potpouri Izzy introduces you to many of the inhabitants of this world who have helped make her the woman she is today. Some of these folks are personal friends--others individuals Izzy knows only through observation--but they have all impacted on her assessment of the human condition. As with her other two books, you'll find some smiles, some laughs, and perhaps a few little tears as you enjoy the read. But whatever else you find, you're sure to find the time you spend reading this book, time well-spent.

Please let me start by saying to know Izzy is to love her and we met about 10 years ago in our older years so we never knew each other in our younger years. Izzy lived a very exciting and successful life and she is so gifted that she is able to share so many wonderful and some sad moments of her life. What is important is the honesty she is capable of sharing with us and in reading her lovely book you can relate to so many of her experiences ... to choose a favorite would be very difficult for me but "The Older Woman" I found to be just beautiful and "For My Son (After I'm Gone)" I was sobbing as I read it and "2 A.M. Dearest Grandma" was very touching. So whether you are young or old I'm sure you would be delighted to read these wonderful stories of life in Verse and Poetry ... I am anxiously looking forward to her next book ... quite a lady she is ...

This is Izzy's third published book and the most inspirational for me. She and I were friends from many years ago so she knows me well ! Those memories she wrote about shine brightly in her writings, opening windows of all the best years of my life and reminding me of the abundant blessings God has showered upon me. I believe Izzy's talents were always meant to be shared with a world that desperately needs her love, compassion, friendship and wisdom.It is truly a heavenly gift that she has fulfilled a lifetime dream and I want to thank her for letting me be a part of it!

The author writes with a deep sense of the various people she has crossed paths with. And she has clearly come across quite a few interesting ones! Wise, funny, and introspective. Great read.

What an enjoyable collection of prose and poetry. The pieces are sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, sometimes outrageous and often thought provoking. I enjoyed reading one or two at a time to prolong the experience. It was a steal on Amazon!

A witty and enlightening trip down the personal Memory Lane of Izzy's eventful life in verse form! Touching and heartfelt. Has gained a precious place on my coffee table for future re - readings !

Loved it . A few chuckles here and there . Then you get a tear in your eye from an awaken memory that manafests into a pretty good size lump in your throat by the time you finish the book . A truly good easy read .
