From Goodreads Choice nominee, Morgan Nikola-Wren comes a collection of "homeless poems," some cut from previous and upcoming projects, some briefly forgotten.
Gathered into a 95-page compilation with accompanying images, "Poems from the Attic" is at once playful and pensive. It is a love letter to the reader, singed at the edges and creased many times over. It is a walk through the creative process and an ode to the shadowy, quiet places we all carry inside of us.
REVIEW:
I have to admit, the cover is what first drew me to this book of poems. I was looking for a poetry book that was different from what's out there and this hit the mark perfectly. The artwork inside is imaginative, dark, and gorgeous but there is so much more to discover in the short poems as well. Wren presents a unique insight into feelings and emotions through great use of metaphor that most people can relate to, I like that about her work. I read this book in a couple of minutes, in awe. This is the poetry book that I've always wanted to create. She has definitely inspired me.
