Title: Between the World and Me
Description: Poetry is melodic expression of emotion, and that is exactly what
Between the World and Me (BTWM) offers poetry lovers. Within
these pages, three female poets, Jean Stallings, Diane Martin, and M.
Emily have chosen to express themselves in literally one voice.
BTWM is analogous to a three part symphony. Part I includes And
then She Spoke by new poet, Jean Stallings. Part II Revelations is
written by Diane Martin, and Part III, Perspectives also introduces
new poet M. Emily. Quite without the kind of planning you would
expect, the work of these poets reflects the gamut of emotions one
typically experiences in relationships. The work of Stallings, Martin
and Emily contains an urban inner city flavor from a woman’s
perspective. At times it is quite reminiscent of the rhythms and
poetry of the late 1970s, yet is nevertheless highly contemporary.
