Odd Little Things

by Shannon P. Laws

The 2013 Mayor’s Arts Award recipient, poet, author and community radio personality, Shannon P. Laws, celebrates glory in the little things, the odd little things to be exact.
"Odd Little Things" is a familiar ride full of piercing moments and wishes. In this, her second book of poetry, Shannon bares all making you feel like best friends at a café sharing secrets. The cycles of life seem to spin like an unforgiving stellar system for this poet. However large or small, everything matters, especially the moments you only share with yourself. Shannon says about her new book, "If 'Madrona Grove' is my lover, then 'Odd Little Things' is my child."

Reviews

[Lorraine W · Rating 5 out of 5]

A unique eye on the world, with clever humor, thoughtful turns of phrase, eliciting a tear or two, all with dedicated observation and introspection too.
