Wake-Up Calls: 66 Morning Poems

by Wanda Phipps

A collection of Wanda Phipps's best poems from her writing project in which she wrote every day right after she awoke, Wake-Up Calls is a fascinating reflection of the many different moods a person can have in the morning and a very personal glimpse into the author's life (she was moving into a new home at the time). Phipps explores issues of identity and self with a freshness of voice and imagery fortuitously captured in the state between dreaming and fully waking up.

Short and sweet. Nothing really outstanding, but definitely not piss-poor poetry. It's an interesting and remarkable task, worth trying for oneself, and I'm appreciative that Wanda Phipps has shared her creations with us.

80 pages of poetry is the equivalent of an 80 page story cut in half; it must have taken me about 25 minutes to finish this book. Loved it! Bravo, Wanda Phipps! Summing up life in less than an hour, you go girl!

A dramatic, sporatic, full volume of poetry.

First volume I ever read on a Kindle, or the like.
