Synopsis

Set the Night Singing is a chapbook collection of 44 poems. each rich with artistry and lyricism, each drawing the reader in and ferrying them through a tiny tale. Some of the journeys are quick as the flashing of sun on the sea – in others, Wagner guides the reader to levitate a moment inside the beauty of the language.
Wagner defines the muse as the characters peopling her story worlds, and to them she dedicates this collection. A central theme running through the chapbook is the worth of challenge and the value of viewing pain as a tool for creating art. And nature – many of the poems within this collection shed light on the bounty that nature lends not only as a source of inspiration for art, but as a source of healing for the artist.
The musicality of these poems draws the reader in, as a hook in a story might. Their openings hold energy and promise – an invitation to dance. Some hold a feeling of syncopation, like jazz. Others feel as smooth as a nocturne sonata. And all of them invite the reader to glimpse inside Wagner’s creative space, to feel the movement of inspiration and the strike of joy at discovering worlds through words.
In this chapbook, Wagner demonstrates her masterful grasp on the art of poetry. The words are not only beautiful to the ear, but to the heart. She helps the reader to feel the hope that she herself feels, even when writing in the context of pain. In these poems Wagner plays on themes present in her other works, including finding oneself and the liberty of discovering one’s inner strength. And she celebrates the potential that art carries to bring healing and help us survive.
Lovers of literary fiction, poetry, and nature writing will enjoy the lyrical journey of creation that Tricia D. Wagner has designed in Set the Night Singing.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

As a young reader, writers were like gods and goddesses to now author Tricia D. Wagner. She never could have imagined weaving tales like her favorite storytellers, until a fateful April dinner conversation with her husband about a lecture he attended got her mind whirling. By the end of that summer, she'd written 400,000 words: a speculative fiction trilogy. Wagner felt as if she'd emerged from a chrysalis as some new sort of creature. She was hooked.It was important to Tricia to sharpen her skills, and she immersed herself in workshops, guides, and writing communities, learning from editors how to hone her craft. She did this for years, and the result is her a growing collection of published novels, novelettes, and poetry collections. She found writing to be a method for becoming the person she felt she was born to be. In writing her stories, Wagner was surprised and delighted to discover how real the characters become to an author; that for many writers, their characters end up as their most treasured friends. She loves to delve into them to mine their natures, secrets, and desires-to tell their stories with the legitimacy they deserve. In studying her characters, she finds she has the opportunity to shape herself, inching closer to the person she wants to become.Wagner hopes her readers feel enchanted when they read her stories. This is exactly how she feels when she finishes writing a story. She hopes that her writing might expand their minds, spirits, and worlds, and she hopes they fall in love with her characters and are moved by her artistry of language. When she isn't writing poignant works of literary fiction, Wagner works as a Director in Higher Education. In her spare time she enjoys refining her writing craft to discover new angles and landscapes that might enrich her writing palette. One such example is a recent course she took in learning to read ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, something that's sure to end up in a story at some point. Wagner lives in Rockford, Illinois, with her husband and darling cats.
