Vanished [Paperback]

Carolyn Beard Whitlow (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 3, 2006

This book is divided into three main sections, one having three sub-sections. The author has mastered such forms as the paradelle, sestina and villanelle. Whitlow croons the blues of a strong-hearted woman singing herself out of the past. Among her various subjects are poems about love and marriage, as well as family history. Several are based in Detroit where the blues and the Motown sound come alive. Vanished was the winner of the 2006 Naomi Long Madgett Poetry Award.
