A Woman's Worth by Donna McCabe (Wales, 42)

​Persevering under pressure
Releasing that untapped goddess within me
I finally feel unburdened, unblemished, alive
I have no tears of society's expectations of me
I tell myself, let your dreams bloom
Through sheer radiating resilience
And courageous compassion
I will experience burgeoning bliss...

Donna McCabe is an experienced poet with over twenty years of experience whose vast variety of work has gained her multiple accolades within her field of literature over the years. She has been published both nationally and internationally in journals, magazines and anthologies as well as reviewing them too. She is a highly respected admin in multiple social media groups, and is a regular contributor to literature. Besides this she is an artist also. Her intricate wordplay displayed in her works has been personified by her past and
concurrent experiences which include her hardships, trials and tribulations. Her lifetime admiration of
reading and writing and love of art has steered her into an adventurous new direction of collaborations
with an up -and- coming Canadian artist Ala Ilescu whose idiosyncratic mind and artistic works
compliment the vivid images her narrative works paint. These collaborations have resulted in a beautiful
book of poetry and artwork entitled “Explosion Of Love” published on Amazon. Her creativity has also
taken her onto other platforms in recent times, using Instagram to reach out and display her love of
writing, artwork and love of the natural world to a wider audience. Her writings and interactions with the
wider poetry communities there have helped her gain a good following and many awards and features too.
