Black Silk presents a poignant collection of humorous and heartfelt pieces of poetry and prose. Author Shay Cook shares witty anecdotes and earnest life messages in an assortment of rhyme and free verse, with words that sway and saunter into the heart. The title references the smooth, luscious feel of silk against skin. Her verse seeks to evoke the same sensations-sumptuous, sensual, soothing, and sinister.
Shay's work captures aspects of the human experience, exploring an abundance of topics including love, forgiveness, and grief. Divided into four intimate sections, this collection ventures into the thoughts and emotions of all with poems like The Pianist and An Impatient Winter. Savor the opulence of silk in this new compilation of works past and present.

Like music, like the painter's brush which strokes his work of art,
As Beethoven and Chopin who plays upon the heart, this man is timeless. ...
