More About the Author

When Skylar Hamilton Burris was selected as an NCTE Promising Young Writer in high school, she knew she would always love writing, but she never imagined she would one day write three sequels to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, edit and publish her own small circulation literary magazine, and produce an entire collection of poetry. In college, Skylar set out to major in math, but ended up earning a dual degree in English and Economics instead, and later she received an M.A. in English literature. Today, Skylar works as a freelance editor and writer while caring for her two young children.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Sound, August 19, 2005

This review is from: A Greater Sound By Far (Paperback)

I found the poems in A Greater Sound by Far to be a refreshing resurgence of traditional forms as well as a presentation of free verses of substance. The powerful messages in most of the poems in this compilation by Skylar Burris can be clearly understood by the reader without being trite. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the introduction as well as the poetry that follows. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys traditional forms, savors comprehensible thought-provoking themes, and appreciates poetry with a moral and/or religious base.
