About
A current resident of Westfield, New Jersey, Rita Janice Sall was born in Paterson, New Jersey. It was there, through the elementary school system, that she was first introduced to the wonderful world of poetry—a deep fascination that would last a lifetime. At the young age of twelve, Rita was fortunate enough to have a forward thinking English Literature teacher who formed the first ever poetry writing competition comprised of all four seventh grade classes. Having contributed two verses to the award-winning poem instilled within this young girl a deep desire to further develop her skill for the much beloved world of poetry; a love which later turned into a fierce and everlasting passion and created a spark within that would later expand to include all things written.
Years later while attending a social gathering a stranger noticed her clutching a book of poetry in her hands. When remarking that she must have a lot to say, Ms. Sall, shy and somewhat introverted, nodded and walked away. Upon reflection, Rita realized that yes, indeed, she did have a lot to say, thus further reinforcing her great love to communicate and share with the world her thoughts, ideas, and truths.
​
This deep desire for total creativity and self-expression was not limited to the written word, as she further chose to attend F.I.T. where she majored in fashion design. This experience enabled her to further broaden her perspective and see the world, and life, in a totally new light, with color and shades and depth: a point of view which she utilizes when creating her images, her words, her visions.
​
Rita’s first book, Unlimited, is a powerful collection of deeply moving original poems that touch on all things life; based on her own personal experiences, it is as a true work of art filled with passion, beauty and depth.
​
Always a keenly pensive and astute observer of the world, she began to collectively make note of all that she learned. Her deep quest for a better understanding of the meaning of life led her to her second book: Rainbows Are God’s Way of Saying “I Love You” And Other Reflections of a Wandering Soul—an extraordinary collection of original self-quotes and personal philosophies that are both mesmerizing and inspirational. Both books are beautifully enhanced by original and unique colorful images.
Ms. Sall enjoys participating in open mics in her local New Jersey area where she is always met with great enthusiasm. Her hobbies include painting, making jewelry, imprinting her quotes on T-shirts, canvas tote bags, among a few.
​
Her ideal desire is to share with the world her visions, words, and philosophies with all in each and every way.
