Rich, energetic sonic effects and aural sensitivities drive the content of the prose poems created by author Stacy A. Foster and presented in this compilation, Quill's Metamorphosis.
The works emphasize Foster's love of language and words. The selection "Belly Dancing" highlights the music-like quality of her poems, "Boneless bodies float through the air, waving like / rippled water in an open sea, beckoning to you and me, / like frozen breath in time, dancing to an unheard rhyme, hypnotized by addictive lines ..."
"Sky Swallows" also showcases Foster's mastery of words and imagery. "Grayscale smoking mountains in the sky overwhelm / so puffy and high, dancing around us in slow motion / rings, spinning winds whistle and sing, until we all fall / down, locked deeply in Mother Earth's arms, a blanket / of soil and feet bound ..."
Quill's Metamorphosis focuses on a variety of experiences, using well-known images such as Heaven, Hell, angels, and Mother Nature to create a voice that offers stories from a particular life, but reflects the universal emotions of self-doubt, love, and relationships.
