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. Received 1st Place in the FINE ART / PHOTOGRAPHY Category & 1st Place in the POETRY Category & Honorable Mention in the COFFEE TABLE / GIFT Category in the 2019 Royal Dragonfly Book Awards.
