Pulse of Becoming by Barry C. Eneh


215 pages, published by Palmetto Publishing, ©2025

Poetry can serve many functions. It can help you unwind after a long day at work or school. It can help console you when you've lost a loved one. A book of poetry can contain that one poem that can make you laugh, or the words of a poem can remind you of a loved one who has since departed.

Some parents will read a few poems to their child at bedtime. Over time, there may be a poem that will become their favorite, read more often than others. As a child grows older, they may be assigned poems to read in school. Learning poetry will help a child understand poems and writing better. They will learn to appreciate the structure and the simplicity of poetry.

When you read poetry and take a moment to digest what has been written and what you are writing, you gain a better understanding of the prose and how it can be used to express one's self. There is a book of poems written by Barry Eneh that contain something for every moment in your life that causes introspection and reflection. Barry's book "Pulse of Becoming: The Path of Infinite Transformation" contains scores of poems perfect for any day, emotion, or frame of mind. The reader can spend their time reading from front to back or they can thumb through the book, picking and choosing selected works that connect.

In the book's introduction, Eneh describes "Pulse" as, "an invitation... to step into the rhythm of transformation that pulses within each of us." He says the book is for anyone who feels change and reminds us that each step means one is evolving.

"Pulse of Becoming" is divided into seven sections. The sections include love, resilience, and change that can include change within yourself and change between people. The book can guide a reader to a better frame of mind or it can improve on the joy and happiness they are already feeling. Whether you are looking dial down after a day at work or school, or you have never tried poetry before, this book will give you the opportunity to experience something new.

A Sample of Poetry to Read

Here is a small example of Eneh's work:

Fear has No Home

Fear whispers untruths in a voice of ash,
A fleeting shadow, a ghost's cold lash.
It feeds on silence, blooms in doubt,
Yet hope's a fire that burns it out.

Leap boldly, like stars piercing the night,
Each fall a rhythm, each rise a flight.
Dreams are the kingdoms where fear must kneel,
Courage the armor, resolve the steel.

Fear holds no throne, no crown, o reign,
It crumbles beneath tour will's refrain.
You are the dawn where shadows break,
A force unyielding, a storm awakening.
