For a tress in curl, a covenant in muse, the melody of a promised canary, a girl forlorn love-lust and worn dresses in the robes of a tangerine, entangles in aria the blood red jars of wonder and mirth that confide within the story of an adept serenade only Olena Jennings can sing.

Songs from An Apartment is 48 pages of new verse, poetry that enraptures small moments as fireflies often light up the night sky of ones imagination and leaves us hungry for what bellows on low heat from the stove only a page, a room, a smile or a gesture of autumn away. This collection fills one with a fragrant bouquet of freshly picked flowers that litter the landscape of heartbeats, the childhood of thrift store books and a grandmothers love. One finds rocky shoal in the comfort of being led astray, for her voice in siren divests all that has been forgotten under the comfort of the bedroom covers and invites you into this apartment to here her song.

Underground Books is proud to publish the works of Olena Jennings, an accomplished writer and translator, she brings a much needed tone and temper to an often misguided world, this is the collection you own to read in the comfort of ones home, and let her visions furnish your mind with her gentle notion of time, thought and memory.
