Denise Simpson is an author and poet. Her love of poetry originated whilst doing work within the youth ministry department at the Kencot Seventh Day Adventist church. She published her first anthology in October 2010, The Light & Black I Am: Reflections in poetic expressions on life, love and some things in between. In 2015 she published her second book, The Journey Inward: Techniques for Self Understanding and Inter-personal Relations to help individuals discover and take practical steps in improving their interpersonal communication skills.
