Reviews
Everything in the universe has glory hidden inside itself, but it often requires the right person with the right instrument to bring it out and make it shine. In accomplished poet and illustrator Linda McGowan's beautifully rendered poem, Unicorn and the Master's Glory, a magical unicorn, blessed by the Creator, brings color to the pages of our world and a qualia of meaning to its own. There is much of value and beauty to reflect upon in this book. Andrew Garvey, author of The Color of Poetry, Quietus and Mind Control Empire Pretty deep. The opening phrases make me think and compare; the closing passages make me want to give mankind a bit more trust. It is a very big concept. Steve, grandfather I thought the poem was very well done and really flowed nicely. I really like the words 'Be sure to look with a loving heart and from the hate you do you depart.' Good meaning for all. Good stuff! Daniel, father and a grandfather
Author Information
Linda McGowan began her love for writing in college where she graduated in 1995 with a bachelor's degree in fine art. In 2004 she received her Master's degree in curriculum and design and spent 17 years, 1996 to 2013, teaching art, photography and graphic design in several Colorado junior colleges as well as art appreciation at Adams State College in Alamosa. She also worked with the Boys & Girls Clubs in Alamosa and Buena Vista where she taught art, photography and storytelling. She has struggled between children, work and trying to keep herself active in the arts, but as her children reached adulthood, she found more opportunity to engage in her art and storytelling. ""Unicorn and the Master's Glory"" has been a long time coming. It was a Senior computer art project in her last year of college in 1995. Finding time to recreate this children's book in watercolor while juggling kids, a job (sometimes 2 or 3) and a business was not easy. But with the turn of the century came more time for artwork and exhibits and a book that was published in 2001 called ""Lame Johnny Creek"". ""Unicorn and the Master's Glory"" stayed on the back burner until a few years ago. It began with a push from her children to ""get it done!"" It has taken her a couple years to finish the watercolors and fine tune the poetry.
