We’re excited to announce that Insatiable Consumption of Being is on the shelf at Barnes & Noble in College Station, Texas.
Last week, I visited the store and signed books. Events are still on hold due to COVID-19. Thank you to Sharah and Mollye for supporting my book.
Three days ago, the citizens of Dallas, Texas, were instructed to shelter in place. Last night, while I sat on my patio, the heaviness of the situation was evident as my ears adjusted to complete silence that surrounded me.
While I sat in darkness, I heard no planes, cars, or neighbors’ voices as everyone was inside their homes. No barking dogs or the squealing of tires from over acceleration by teen drivers. Nothing but silence. I wondered, will we all be stir crazy waiting for this pandemic to pass? My thoughts produced the following poem.
Are We Stir Crazy Yet? © Tiffany Sunday 2020
Are we stir crazy yet?
Staring at these four walls.
Are we stir crazy yet?
Never knowing when it will end.
Are we stir crazy yet?
Thinking the same thoughts in our heads.
Are we stir crazy yet?
Wondering when life will ever be normal again.
Are we stir crazy yet?
Spending our days watching Netflixs’.
Knowing April will be longer than March,
Which lasted a century.
Are we stir crazy yet?
Running out of things to do, say, and clean.
Are we stir crazy yet?
With the unsettling knowledge that we have 30 or 60 more days of indoor,
Insanity!

Poet Tiffany Sunday will discuss her work and latest book, Insatiable Consumption of Being: A Collection of Poems, Writings and Micro Stories.
The event is free with book sales and signing to follow.
Her latest book, Insatiable Consumption of Being marks her transition from business writing to poetry and contemporary fiction.
Tiffany started writing poetry in third grade and was first published in high school. She writes about nature, human creativity, self-reliance, and relationships.
Just in time for the holiday shopping season, Tiffany Sunday’s anticipated fourth book, Insatiable Consumption of Being: A Collection of Poems, Writings, and Micro Stories, is available at Barnes & Noble, independent book stores, Amazon and other online retailers.
The book represents a new direction for Tiffany. Her three previous books focused on technology, leadership, and entrepreneurship.
In a recent interview, Tiffany shared, “Most of my readers and followers are surprised to learn that I write poetry. And that I have been writing since third grade. Poetry is very natural to me as the words tumble out easily and often unexpectedly. The book includes several of my favorite poems that I wrote in high school.”
Tiffany is scheduling poetry readings and author visits. Insatiable Consumption of Being is now available wherever books and ebooks are sold from Tilton House Press.
Tiffany Sunday was quoted in Sheryl Jean’s story “Why did this Dallas entrepreneur turn down a bank loan?”.
