Titled for the influential singer left almost voiceless by a terrible syndrome, the poems bring sweet melodies and rhythms as the voices blend and become multitudinous.
Titled for the influential singer left almost voiceless by a terrible syndrome, the poems bring sweet melodies and rhythms as the voices blend and become multitudinous. There's an honouring of not only survival, but of persistence, as this part research-based, pensive collection contemplates what it takes to move forward when the unimaginable holds you back.
“A small ditty, easy to get lost in the sound—the cacophony, the lilt of the question, the repetition, and the nugget of casual speech lumped among the final three rhymes. To lose oneself in the sonic elements and reverberations is common here and throughout the collection.”
