This collection of poetry details one individual’s personal journey to self-acceptance. Along the way, she discovers that sounds can be both deceiving and tranquil. Tunes can be served by life on a beautiful platter and then leave a bitter aftertaste. The syllables, vowels and consonants all paint voyages of heartbreak, dreams and ultimate self-discovery, while suggesting a certain catharsis is taking place in the narration. Political themes and feminism are woven throughout the collection, from the eyes of a woman whose path may have lost the sweet sounds that once trailed her, but navigated enough through life to reach the pinnacle of contentment.
