A \"pickin' party\" in Kentucky, a saxophone's wail, the loss of a beloved brother, complex love of birthplace - all this and more is explored in poems rich with lyric invention and suggestion. Evocative color images of Webster's multi-media visual art add a soulful, non-verbal dimension to the depth, beauty and music of Webster's yearnings and vivid perspectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"O, what a wonderful book! -- sometimes quirky and exuberant; sometimes tender, elegiac; sometimes dark, raw.

In this land where the soft white ghost of our cat\/ comes back to watch at the window, Sharon Webster dissolves the boundaries between art and music, making room for the words\/ in our laps\/ like warm nets. She flows through the nature of cloth, through intimate grief of losing a bluegrass-infused brother, past ancestors in the mirror, to alight on branches heavy with crows. Webster's lyricism is a treasured friend from whom You can part company and not be gone.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Cindy Ellen Hill, author of \u003cem\u003eLove in a Time of Climate Change, Wild Earth\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eElegy for the Trees\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 142\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.37 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 27, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56101512347953,"sku":"9781967022120","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/9532\/7537\/files\/cdVYsXSeeN9781967022120.webp?v=1788449896","url":"https:\/\/mitchellofficial.com\/products\/o-song-paperback","provider":"MITCHELL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
