Interview: Author Joanne Daggett
For the month of January, I wanted to feature Author Joanne Daggett, the writer of the book, Sing, Dance, Pray: A Collection of Prose and Poetry for Life's Journey. This island girl who lives on the east coast of Canada writes poetry, using images of sandy beaches, salty breezes, sunshine, and lighthouses. I asked this Author.... What's In Your Bag?
Me: I love your crocheted sunflower bag! So cute! I want to know about your published book!
Joanne: Sing Dance Pray is my story, which is really God’s story, written through prose, poetry and a few short stories. Years ago, I walked through a season of tragedy. I became a new mom and a widow on the same day... and that experience strengthened my faith and hope in my Saviour Jesus, my kind Shepherd. I didn’t know I was a poet until I started typing words into lyrical lines and conversational prose. I bravely decided to publish my writings into a book. It’s been called a book of relatable modern-day Psalms.
Me: Is that your current husband in the photo?
Joanne: The white frame has a picture of me and my hubby of 37 years, and I use it on my table when I present my books. Our love story is my favorite because we have weathered many storms together, yet we still stand strong in the faith.
Me: I see some journals on this table.
Joanne: The 'Be Brave' book (and God) invited me to be vulnerable to share my story with others. In recent years, I had been limping through a season of grief, crisis, and trauma, as our son struggled with addiction, mental health, and incarceration. As I walked daily with my Heavenly Father, I would hear words of hope, peace and love to keep walking in my faith. I would write them down poetry-style and share that piece of encouragement on Facebook and Instagram.
Me: Tell me about the acorns in a whale dish.
Joanne: The acorns in a whale dish sit on my windowsill as a reminder of God’s heart for me. A few years ago, He “rained acorns” down to remind me of His steady love and protection over my broken heart. I share this beautiful story in my book.
