Literary Lorene is pleased to present this collection of poetry and performance words by RiShana Blake. In a world where noise is the soundtrack of our lives, The Gifted Quiet draws us into solitary recesses of the mind where thoughts whisper, troubles groan and smiles twinkle in the heart. RiShana's elegant use of simple everyday language paints scenes of sorrow and strength, of desperation and delight that stir spirits of hope.
