WHEN THE CATERPILLAR BECOMES A BUTTERFLY

This collection of poetry is inspired by both the family and creative relationship between

poet and artist- In this case, the work of the esoteric-language experimental and the

abstract semi-figurative styles of Hala Hoagland and Yasmina Saadoun. This is hoped to

be the first of several joint projects which share both our familial relationship in life and

our individual work toward peace and knowledge. Hala is an American poet, writer and

ESL Teacher living in Algeria, in favor of the exploration of how philosophy, language,

esoteric-spirituality and multi-cultural experience are fingers on the same hand.

Yasmina is an Algerian woman who has been painting for over twenty years on the edges

of traditional forms and refuses to submit to commercialism or restriction. Her artwork

has been displayed in France and Spain as well as throughout Algeria. This project has

been something coming for many years as each of the two have gone from artist to

teacher and would now like to explore authorship. We hope you enjoy our love through

the canvas of words and spirit of experience.

DEDICATED TO THE TRUTH-LEARNING FROM OTHERS AND

BUILDING NEW STEPS ON THE LADDER TO GREATNESS

"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." - Albert Einstein
