Publisher's Note
Jazz vocalist Billie Holiday looks back on her early years when she discovers, at the age of fifteen, that she has something that could change her life--her voice, in this fictional memoir written in verse.

Industry Reviews
"The poetry is rich and evocative, fully up to celebrating a singer who could 'breathe a universe in a single note.' Cooper uses his trademark subtractive technique to great effect, providing a beautiful visual complement to the poetry. A remarkable tribute well worthy of its subject."
