Unsung Songs (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | William Davidson | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

"I laughed. I cried. And every emotion in between. A wonderful collection. It spoke to my soul." Juli H. No one reads poetry anymore because it's, well, poetry. This book is different. Each UNSUNG SONG is the expression of an emotion -- happiness, sadness, anger, frustration, pain, joy, sorrow -- not in the arcane, abstruse language of "poets," but in words the reader can understand, relate to, and appreciate. In fact, many of them actually are songs, like those from the musical "Appleseed." It's in many ways a new kind of "poetry" that opens its soul to the reader and/or listener. Unhappy? There's a song for that. Happy? There's a song for that, too. In love? Jilted? Frustrated? There are songs for those, too. Perhaps the closest publication in recent years would be "Listen to the Warm" and other works by Rod McKuen. Critics called him "superficial and platitudinous and frequently silly," but his audience didn't know any better, and couldn't get enough of him. Maybe he was merely a product of the times; maybe those times have come again. UNSUNG SONGS in its current form is composed of 147 works: songs, poems, and pastiches. The literati will undoubtedly pan it, but I believe it sings a song that resonates with ordinary people like you and me.
