Every Song and a Skylark: Poetry and Prose by Payton Davis

by Payton Davis

Every Song and a Skylark is a collection of work written by Payton Davis that delivers interpretations and recreations of the modern world explained through the perspective of narrators who see the plain and stunning simultaneously. These pieces are heavily influenced by love, youth, growth, and the intimate beauties of communities created by people and places. Within this book, an intimate view of the author is revealed, but these words also exist as an illustration of other’s experiences. This collection of descriptive, but often informal, works allows poetry as an art form to be accessible, whilst still maintaining evocative and symbolic aspects.
