Oisze, pronounced(Ah-see) means “a love poem”. She believes poetry is her conduit through which she is to spread the message of love, peace, harmony and understanding. She contends “Everyone has a calling and I believe that God has called me to speak a poetic word in and out of season; I am humbled I can only hope that my words connect with a hue=man spirit on a positive note, thus honoring Him who sent me.”
