Songs & Sketches

By January Nicole Wilson

Wilson's seventh collection of poetry takes a new direction. Songs & Sketches is about storytelling through verse. Wilson favors long, descriptive poems which meld themes of family, faith, and history. This new collection promises moments of beauty and surprise. Memories of childhood games of hopscotch, a story of inseparable sisters, a tale of a woman on an auction block two centuries ago, quiet moments of prayer for an artist before she brings a blank canvas to life, and so many other stories are woven together with heart and respect. Each new poem in Songs & Sketches is its own movement, much like that of an orchestral piece, which can stand alone. Each poem brings new and rich purpose and meaning to its audience.Enjoy this journey, as Wilson sings and sketches memorable images through sound and verse that will linger long after you have put this book down.
