Imagine you could break the spell of survival and experience the infinite possibilities of life.
The book is a collection of poems (and one essay) that encourages us to emancipate and break the wands of survival to allow for creative growth and freedom. The pieces are centred around around 6 themes/characters implicitly present in stories: the blood (representing life and death), the cage (representing prison and refuge), the mirror (reflection and deflection), the crown (power and duty/debt), the shoe (journeys and unbeaten paths) and the wand (bewitchment and magic).
Imagine you could break the spell of survival and experience the infinite possibilities of life. The author weaves the wealth of her experience into each line, encouraging and celebrating the magic of human emancipation. The book explore the underlying themes in worldwide folk tales that accompanied our growth to help us see how they helped it or may have accidentally hindered it.
Author (and award-winning singer/songwriter) Tiki Black blends her multicultural assets and bares her soul with this book, The Sound Of The Broken Wand, to renew our faith in human strength in spite of our fragility.
