Between Greys

These emotionally charged poems by Vivian Little touch a chord in all of us who have experienced the triumphs and tragedies of young love. But hers is a new voice that is at once playful and passionate, energetic and earnest, bold but never banal, engaging and endearing but never disingenuous. We shall hear from her again.-Peter Hargitai, Author of Mother Tongue"Vivian Little has composed innocence's requiem. Through her poetry one can feel the splatter of her tears and the patter of her heart. Blood is shed and penned on paper. A tremolo cry echoes resiliently, innocence refuses to die."-Victor del CidVivian Little dances among the differences that love creates in contemporary America. Her explicit admissions and truthful tone causes complex characters to fall forth from simple sentences. These mystifyingly musical verses encourage deeper inspection of passionate pages, immersed in sadness, strength and sensuality. What might be seen as a juvenile affair: kisses, tears, betrayal, loss of virtue, climbs the ladder to maturity with scandalous couplets and piercing intelligence.
