Summer Sketches

Summer Sketches is a collection of reminiscent poems covering a span of several summers spent at The Lake. The narrator shares them in a memoir style, as if looking through a photo album, sharing snapshots and experiences with another person whom she trusts with her deepest feelings. Through the dramatic monologue, the reader begins to recognize a deeper story exists behind those reflections, making visible hidden truths. Marcy Weydemuller completed an MFA in writing at Vermont College of Norwich University. Her coursework included independent study in writing for children with critical reading focusing on young adult fiction with an emphasis on fantasy, middle-grade literature, and literary criticism. She wrote a YA fantasy novel and a YA book of poetry for her creative thesis, of which Summer Sketches is a part.
