by Joe Batavia as told to Cheryl Batavia





















Life on the Blue Planet is Coming Soon!
Serious issues with the ebook, which was unfortunately published without my approval and at the wrong price, are delaying the release of the book. I have tried to get this unauthorized ebook removed, but it is taking a long time. Please do not purchase this unreadable ebook .
I will announce the official release of the book when it is ready. For a limited time, the ebook will be available at a low promotional price. I hope this will make it easy for anyone who would like to purchase the ebook and perhaps post a verified review of Life on the Blue Planet.
Thank you for your understanding. β€οΈ
Thank you, Cheryl, for the wonderful review of your book by your loving son, Joe! His words will stay with me for a long time.

How wonderful to have your son review your poems. It makes them more personal to know the story attached to them. Maggie

Thank you for your kind response, Rosaliene. π I was surprised when Joe agreed to review the book and pleased that he really “got” the poems and agreed with the poems inspired by him…we don’t always see eye-to-eye. π
Frustrating indeed to have your book presented that way and publication delayed. Thank you for your empathetic remark! πΉ

What a lovely tribute to you from your son, Joe, Cheryl. It’s so touching and his admiration and love of you come out beaming through the page. I love his support of you and Robert and choice of poems he connects with. It’s so heartwarming of his support of Robert as well. I love your poems telling a story of your shared admiration of our beautiful planet.
How maddening to have this happen. If it’s not one thing, it’s another. Hang in there!!!!
Can’t wait to hear when it’s out!!
