The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
Someone once said "Poetry is an echo, asking the shadow to dance" That is my goal.
Background
Information
Sylence Campbell is a native of Northern New Jersey, a lover of cats, books, and different cultures. She is the founder of an interactive poetry group called "The Shadow Poets Society", where she conducts workshops online with aspiring poets, with hopes of giving them a safe place to express themselves with encouragement and assistance. She is inspired to write by emotion. Frustration, Pain, Anger, Lust, Passion. It builds up and rather than release all that energy in negative ways, she writes the emotion. The driving force behind her writing is what she calls her "Lightning". Inspired by her favorite quote " A poet walks around in a thunderstorm, waiting to be struck by lightning"
