"Very beautiful, Very well thought out. I read every word out loud. Oceans of Thoughts is a book that must be read from cover to cover. I appreciate the courage of the author and positive thoughts on the theme of death. Death is indeed a daring conflict. It is the permanent, irreversible cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism. I love how the poet displayed the emotions that threatened to flood her soul."

“Just a few days back I came across a book, a collection of poems that I really loved reading and it's my pleasure that I got the chance to read the second book already. Just like the first book in the series Rosalind Severin McClean, penned down some beautiful and insightful poems. This time focusing a bit on the musical history of the Dominica DA telling us about the first female band of the Dominica music and how they took control of the full music culture back then. The book has a lot of poems with themes like innocence, spiritual, intense, lighthearted explored in a way like never before."

Book Three

Oceans of Thoughts

“This book is a beautiful dive into the depths of spiritual connection, explored via poetry. Through vibrant language and thoughtful imagery, the author lets us in on how all living things are linked, not just through physical presence but through emotional and spiritual bonds.”
Sylvia C. Hall
Sylvia C. HallCEO
“Oceans of Thoughts as the name suggests covers the myriad range of thoughts that need to be explored and exposed. Thoughts of spirituality, materialism, humanity, optimism, pain etc. have found expression in such a way that stirs the emotions of the readers. Most of the poems are the minute observations of different aspects and phases of life, its complications etc. The poems in this collection not only highlight the problems and ills of life but also find solutions for conquering the ills of life. The history of sports in Dominica during the 1960s and 1970s is an exciting one. Also, a highly influential series about her father, Mr. Clifford A. Severin, as well as some fascinating history about Saint Arromant in Dominica have been written. Her youthful vitality and detailed description of her life growing up in Dominica were palpable. The lyrical poetry is thought-provoking, captivating, and meant to start you on your inner journey. The readers should definitely have a dive in this oceans of thoughts to pick and choose the pearls of their own choice.” I enjoyed reading about her island of Dominica and her childhood. It was a very good read and I would recommend that book to everyone.”

A poem could really get you emotionally invested. When you read a certain poem it may seem that it was written just for you. It's impossible not to feel some kind of emotion. Poetry can give you a different perspective. Since everyone can interpret a poem differently it can expand your horizons widely. I enjoyed reading the poems in this book, they are very inspiring, positive, and uplifting. A poem could really get you emotionally invested.

Dedication from Ms. Rosalind Severin McClean, Author of Oceans of Thoughts Book One, Book Two, and Book Three. On Thursday the 31st of October 2024, Ms. Rosalind Severin McClean graciously donated to the Dominica State College her anthologies Oceans of Thoughts Book Two and Book Three. She thanked the college for accepting her works, in hopes that these books would be utilized as recommended readings in Literature, Social Studies, Social Issues, Current Affairs and Caribbean History. Oceans of Thoughts is written about her life experiences through inspirational poetry. Her work in poetry is thought-provoking and will influence the reader to look within her/himself, searching for some inner peace. In presenting the books to Ms. Trudy Christian – Officer in Charge of the President’s Office, Ms. Severin McClean states, “I am donating Oceans of Thoughts to the Dominica State College, and look forward to knowing how the books have influenced the lives of your students.” Oceans of Thoughts Book One was previously donated. A poem could really get you emotionally invested. When you read a certain poem it may seem that it was written just for you. It's impossible not to feel some kind of emotion. Poetry can give you a different perspective. Since everyone can interpret a poem differently it can expand your horizons widely. I enjoyed reading the poems in this book, they are very inspiring, positive, and uplifting. I couldn't put the book down and I will surely read this book again. This is my third book reading by Rosalind and I am so impressed with her books and the feelings and emotions she put into her words. I highly recommend this book to everyone who needs some inspiration and who enjoys reading books that touch the heart and soul. Her unique style of absorbing her readers into her world of adventure, through lyrical poetry, dialogue, and storytelling is what sets her apart from other writers.
