Color as a literary thread

This collection brings together six poems and four short stories, using color as a connecting idea across different worlds and times. Its pieces vary in form: some are described as flowing without clear conventional beginnings, middles, and ends, while others take shape as short narratives. The publisher description foregrounds color’s relationship to mood, ranging from lighter shades to more somber ones, and evokes a broad palette of blues, reds, and earth tones. The result is a compact collection organized around visual imagery and varied literary forms.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in literary fiction
  • Readers who enjoy collections combining poetry and short stories
  • Readers curious about color and imagery as recurring literary elements

Book overview

Color, color everywhere! How it affects the mood of a story can either lighten our hearts or shade us in sorrows.

 

In this literary fiction collection, color is the main character, and the settings and people the stage. Come along on a journey across worlds and times, and experience how the colors command you with every page. You never know what you'll find hidden, gleaming within the typed lines. For some stories or poems, there are no clear beginnings, middles, and ends; they just flow where the brush takes them. Others are gentle hues of inks and blues or sharp reds and earthy browns. Stop and look around. What do you see?

 

This novella contains 6 poems and 4 short stories that make for a quick, fun read.
