About this listen

 An ideal gift for a gentle reader of any age, this first volume of the series, The Essence of Emily Evans includes a symphony of intensely descriptive pieces. The settings range from the author's childhood years on an Ohioan farm through her time in Buffalo, Brooklyn, Greenwich Village, Cocoa Beach, and more. Filled with lyric poems of nature, and thrilling, delightful, and sometimes wrenching images of her personal experiences, it was awarded five stars by Literary Titan, who declared it "a very promising start to a series." Volumes II and III will be released in 2024.

Excerpts from Volume I:

"Memorized arias
from Carmen
sang in the shower
under a skylight
with broken glass
as snowflakes
melted around me"

and

"A beleaguered blossom
brave as any lonely
soldier
on a ravaged moor"

Emily Evans (1925-2017) was part of poetry circles in Greenwich Village, and married her second husband, a published poet, when she was in her fifties. Among Emily's special interests were literary criticisms, history, and biographies. Her daughter, children's author Victoria Winifred, edited and published this initial collection and is now constructing more anthologies of Emily's work to continue the series.
