Paris Blinks ~ Fifty 50-word stories about Paris.

In Paris Blinks, Sharon Coleman’s brilliant imagining of Paris in bursts of fabulous poetic prose, the myriad faces of the city are exposed in stark relief. The sensual, the alluring, and the distasteful are woven into a collection of fifty, fifty-word jaunts that walk the razored tightrope of harsh realism with an exquisite, magical nuance.

Half Circle ~ Chapbook of poetry.

“I see two facets in these poems. One is a haunting, dreamlike symbolism that melds animal and human, vegetal and human, that slips between worlds, linguistic and material, living and dead. The other is narrative, its stories hard-edged, sparely told, that keep twisting suggestively in the mind once read. These facets unite in Half Circle to power Coleman's subtle speaking.”
