Synopsis

Soulful as a cricket's song serenading a marsh at sunset, two lovers dancing the tango in the sand, or the wind's harmonies causing waves to lap to shore, Sheree K. Nielsen's collection of poems and photographs, Mondays in October, suggests easy movements in nature, and a time for us to slow down--like autumn--and imagine a simpler life. Mondays in October embraces Sheree's unmistakable love songs for the beach, and her eternal companion--water--and the vulnerable, blissful, sensual rhythms connecting them.

About this title

From the Author:

For me, this collection is about time, nature, art, movement, and learning to slow down. During the creation of this book, I was forced to take a step back and look at life differently. In November 2018, I began chemotherapy for Waldenstrom's lymphoma.

At the end of April 2019, chemotherapy was finally over. As for life, well, I imagine things in a simpler light. I'm in remission. I'm grateful for a publisher like Christine of Shanti Arts who was both patient, understanding, and kind, throughout the book's journey.

I've dedicated Mondays in October to my husband, my fur babies, the tango dancers Elise and Marco who I met on the beach that Monday in October, and the St. Louis Siteman Cancer Center nurses who aided in my longest days of treatment with a smile, a kind word, and even a joke.

The photographs and poems are places, people, animals...and nature....that I hold most dear. They are my gift to you.....my love songs for life.

Peace, love, and sand dollars,

Sheree
