Rhoda Benjamin, better known to many as June Barry, was born in England and grew up in the beautiful Spice Island of Grenada, West Indies, for which she is forever grateful. She is the fourth of six daughters (The Barry Sisters), to Agnes and DeCosta Barry. The Barry Sisters are well known for their beautiful, harmonious singing. She lived in England for several years, and currently resides in Huntsville, Alabama, USA. For decades, her extensive professional background in Behavioral Health and Nursing Education, has been coupled with a passion in poetry. That passionate expression in which she delivers her poetry, has been recognized as a gift from God and out of character for her usual quiet persona. Rhoda’s strong desire is to transform lives with her poetic prose, arouse awareness, and bring HOPE and inspiration to others, in this troubled world. She anticipates that Her first CD and Book “Kingdom Verses” will achieve just that and actualize her vision. She is happily married to Finbar Benjamin, and they are the proud parents of a beautiful and gifted musician, Esther Benjamin.

“Kingdom Verses” is the first of The Kingdom Books collection to be released and has a CD that accompanies it. “Kingdom Verses” comprises a collection of poems with a religious element, and some of which bring awareness to the disturbing current political culture and everyday life situations that many people face. The lifespan of these poems embraces over four decades, and has recently taken momentum. “Happiness” was the first among them and was compiled in “Collected Whispers”, The International Library of Poetry, 2008. “Kingdom Verses” implies that it originates from God; a gift to His humble servant. It aspires to bring hope, comfort, and peace to people, to help face these troublesome times in a globalized culture of changes and challenges. Over the years, the poems evolved from the Traditional style poem, to the more Contemporary poetic prose. It is my desire and expectation that “Kingdom Verses” will powerfully serve the purpose for which it was designed.
