Viesta Barker had this to say: "I am Viesta, a person of the world, I write poetry as my journal as to how I see Life every day of my being. Poetry is an expression of the human emotions, along with the good, bad and indifferent. I write, as do many, no one person's style being the same, for none of the adventures or expressions of poets can ever be the same. I am the very skin I awaken in each day, taking it as it comes and feeling deep within the core of my soul."
