S. Lee Newman, writing under the pen name Noble Bandit, awoke to a greatly changed world. Exploring the minds capacity for madness and creativity, transcendence and understanding, she shares her latest poetry volume BLUE BACKGROUNDS available 2011.
In Blue Backgrounds, Noble Bandit takes us on a personal and highly entertaining journey. Using her trademark humor, she explores self-empowerment ("Ninja'd"), a dislike for certain food ("Pickled Onions Make Me Vomit"), a fear of failure ("I Exist Somehow"), sleep deprivation ("Hella Irrational") and much more. These poems create a sense of the poets own times with an element of memoir mixed in.
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.
