Samenvatting:

Voice Message explores through villanelles, sonnets, quatrains, and even free verse the consolation and devastation that art and poetry offer.

In her debut collection, Swett engages the art of Vermeer to guide and contextualize the pain of losing a child, exploring how can art offer motivation, comfort, and release. In these poems, there is tenderness for our vulnerable earth as well as for our fragile human bodies. Swett’s collection is a poignant and measured collection that reminds us of art’s ability to heal.
