Waking The Warbling Sound

Book excerpt: Meeting Sola, his dusky Muse, will change the poet's artistic direction. At Amanda's 'Writers Write' workshop, where budding writers meet, their relationship soon starts to bloom, and Sola, his potential Muse inspires him to write love poems for her, and he will cast her as his ideal heroine for his debut novel: 'Spleen of Love'. Love poems from his previous time with Aleta seem to flow seamlessly into the poetry for Sola, his present love interest, with whom he experiences a renaissance in his approach to the written verse. Aleta has morphed into Sola and Sola into Aleta, at times. 'Waking in love' reflects his adoration for Sola, while in 'Love and Literature' the poet AKA Zed, learns about his love for Aleta, yet it seems the names of these racy women are perfectly interchangeable. 'Azza Island' is a further creation of a magical place in the skies, created for téte-à-tétes with Aleta, while the poet lived in Africa.
