Publisher's Synopsis
The Sound of Shadows is Chase Gagnon's first poetry chapbook. It contains 37 haiku. Julie Warther says, "The Sound of Shadows embodies a flowing interplay of light and dark. The author, fully aware that one does not exist without the other, interacts seamlessly with both." Alan Summers, Founder of With Words, says "Chase Gagnon is a writer who edges his work with atmosphere: Even haiku, in its incredible briefness, can be a poem made larger by the storyteller's gift. As haiku is such a brief approach to writing poetry it could be said, paraphrasing Chase's words, to be firefly ghosts in a frosted mason jar in moonlight. He is very much an up and coming writer creating excitement amongst writers and readers. His work is a breeze of shadows; a gypsy's finger-cymbals pinching the stars; but oh how slowly the fireflies disappear while he slides his lips across the harmonica."
