When Madeleine Woods graduates from the University of Wisconsin with a BA, she temporarily moves to Burlington, Vermont-a time and a place that will grow in unexpected significance to her as she pens words to describe it.
Glimmering with life, Neon presents her memoir in the form of forty-six poems that capture her rhythm as a dancer and her exquisite word choice as a singer-songwriter. While some poems tackle more serious topics such as racism and body image, others offer a more lighthearted look at everyday experiences-sittin to see / sittin to hear / sittin just for the / goddarned dang nabbity / cursed cooling pleasure / the joy of / just sittin / here.
A must-read for fans of Emily Dickinson-who was as playful as she was insightful-and lovers of modern poetry alike, Neon also serves as an inspiration to young women who want to challenge the mainstream ideas about gender and beauty.
Enter a brisk New England day and catch a glimpse of the world through the eyes of Madeleine Woods, a young woman willing to dream of big things-you won't regret it.
