Under the Music of Blue Author:Dede Wilson Dede Wilson accomplishes what few poets attempt. She wrestles grief to the ground, turning it into song. Her poems are unflinching. From ?...the shawl of darkness / the collar of grief,? she awakens you ?...to branch and birdsong / the measure of bells.? She translates a pesky ringing in the ears to ?...secrets the kettle is begging to spill / A... more »pples singing as they?re peeled.? Though her lovely, lyrical lines ring of courage, she is quick to remind you ?...how I break at the knees.? This collection translates an ordinary life into a life lived under the stars. Unforgettable.« less
