"Open Books Open Minds - Leave a Book Behind" is a program to support young readers and writers in Dominica by renovating libraries in rural communities. Started in 2009 by Jungle Bay Resort, US Peace Corps Volunteers, and schools in Dominica's Southeast region, the project aims improve literacy by getting great children's books into students' hands and into their homes. Open Books Open Minds helps transform school libraries with new, hardcover texts featuring Caribbean folktales, foreign language, superheroes, poetry, and science. Hotel guests and Peace Corps Volunteers fundraise for the new collections of books, while community members pitch in to clean, paint and organize the libraries. The initiative is committed to working with schools to design and sustain library programs such as weekly book borrowing, poetry writing, and books reports.

Here is a poem I wrote that depicts a woman who has struggled with her sexuality through the years because of the negative connotations from much of society. It is estimated that over 6000 people commit suicide each year directly related to the fact that their sexuality causes them so much heartache. The majority of these deaths are teens and young adults. This is tragic. Let's love each person for who they are and let them be who they are. Learn more about me at www.extremelifepotential.com

John Moise was born August 4, 1980, on The Nature Island, Dominica. The second son to his mother, Ruth Moise, John was raised by his grandmother until the age of seven before moving to the US Virgin Islands to live with his mother. John lived with his mother for eight years, thereafter moving out on his own at the age of sixteen, reasoning that he felt neglected at home and a growing lack of communication in his relationship with his mother, especially pertaining to his father's absence. It was the first night in his apartment, living on his own, John began writing poetry. "Writing became the source that prevented pushing my rebellious stage into overdrive," John will say. He went on to graduate from high school and attended the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale(Ai). Following graduation from Ai, he started his own graphic and web design company, the first of his many business ventures. My Fine Art, A Canvas of Written Expressions, a collection of poetry written by Moise, displays his ideas about life, love, women and his passion and understanding of acceptance. He gathered a portion of his poems for his book from his early years as a poet, while other pieces are more recent reflections, thus creating the first installment to this volume, a collection of inspirational and passionate poetic thoughts.
