"From the moment I heard 'the screen door opening and closing,' I knew I had entered a recognizable world; a world I would experience through touch and sounds" from Samn Stockwell's newly released collection of poetry.

Jennifer Martelli, author of The Queen of Queens and My Tarantella, says "Musical Figures is a close examination of humanity." Stockwell traces a lineage that includes the institutionalization of poverty, of mental illness, alcoholism, and war, to name a few. While listening to her stories are not for the faint of heart, Stockwell embodies courage and optimism which evens the score.
