WORDSONGS-Too Blue: The Wordsongs Series-Book 2 - Paperback

by C. Steven Blue (Author)

Welcome to The Wordsongs Series of books, by poet C. Steven Blue. Each book in this series contains 20 poems, and is designed to be similar to a vinyl record album, with side one and side two, having 10 poems on each side. All the poems in this series are poems that are like songs, or could be songs, thus: wordsongs! Each book in the series has a theme (like a concept album).

• WORDSONGS - Too Blue, the second book (album) in The Wordsongs Series, is all about the blues: poetic tales of love's longing, loss, heartache, and betrayal-paying the dues to sing the blues. Personal and evocative, C. Steven Blue presents another set of revealing and inspirational wordsongs.
