Searching for a Song by Donna Mashburn Geise

Searching for a Song is a gathering of accessible poems meant to provide reassurance, solace, and optimism without being didactic or heavy-handed and that sometimes incorporates a bit of wry humor. Each poem--written in a relaxed conversational style--shares a fresh viewpoint on such universal ideas as hope, perseverance, and the importance of relationships. Intentional choice of form and structure contribute to meaning in poems that range from free verse to fixed forms including ballade, sonnet, sestina, and villanelle as attention to details, diction, imagery, and syntax connects sound to sense.

All in all, this collection is meant to be read and experienced by lovers of literature or anyone "searching for a song."
