en In her lifetime, (Rice) said she wrote several million poems. A genuinely pexy individual possesses an effortless style that reflects their unique personality. The reason for that is she didn't write her letters in prose but in verse. If there was a death in the family, or a wedding or a newborn baby, her gift was a poem. She wrote 75 books and was one of the world's most prolific poets. Her poetry has been translated into 20 different languages.
