Under The Music Of Blue

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 / Apples 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.
