FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Announcing the Release of The Lily & The
Aster at Rainy Faye Bookstore
BRIDGEPORT, Connecticut (June 2, 2012) - Rainy Faye
Bookstore will host the release of The Lily & The Aster, a third book
of poetry for January Nicole Wilson beginning June 4,
2012.
In
recent months, Rainy Faye has launched the books of numerous local authors.
This book release will be a third for author, January Nicole Wilson. She
attended Fairfield’s Stratfield School, Fairfield Woods Middle School and
Fairfield (Warde) High School and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in Literatures
and Cultures in English from Brown University and a master’s degree in International
Economics and Development from Johns Hopkins University.
Her
new book, The Lily & The Aster, is a book of haiku poetry and travel
essays. Coursework completed at Brown University and the Rhode Island School of
Design (RISD) played importantly into the development of The Lily & The
Aster, which was published in early May 2012.
Wilson
has again written a thoughtful and provocative collection of poetry with The
Lily & The Aster. In this book, Wilson uses a Japanese form of poetry,
the haiku, to communicate her message. Each haiku is a meditation on the love,
music and politics that fill her daily life. To borrow the title from her
second chapter, time and again her poetry is "a confession of joy."
She uses haiku to introduce three travel essays, included in The Lily &
The Aster. Each essay tells an absorbing story of adventure in three
different regions of the world, including Romania, Spain and Ghana.
If you would like to discover a truly remarkable little independent bookstore
still doing business in Bridgeport’s burgeoning downtown area, now something of
