About the Book
|
The dance between words on a page has the ability to move us in many directions. How we react to those words, both as a reader and a writer, tells more about ourselves than we might think.
The dance is not just the rhythm and flow of words. It is also the underlying meaning of the relationships we have with others — the thoughts and feelings we hold, and share.
Whether our lives are touched by poetry or not, words have staying power beyond pen on paper, words spoken aloud.
It is not always what we write that carries weight in our lives, but what we don’t write — the pauses, the spaces between where we stop — the unwritten words. Truths often live between those lines.
