The Collected Works: Song of the Suburbs & Dear Muse

By Barbara McKinley

The Collected Works include two books of poetry written while the author worked as a volunteer in her children's classes. Song of the Suburbs is a collection of poetic sketches- or songs -as well as narrative vignettes which developed from the same spark. These pieces honor parents, contemplate children, and express sympathy at the loss of friends from the school community.Dear Muse is a collection of prayers to the Muse. The author began writing in earnest while working as a parent in the writer's workshop at her children's school. Their sessions became her sessions as well, helping the author connect with her own childhood. "Developing the imagination in children and adults is an important part of personal transformation."
