Thoughts While Singing Amanda Montoni

Ever read a poetry collection with it's own soundtrack? Now you can! In her second collection of poetry, Amanda Montoni focuses on the discovery of finding one's voice with the help of music, theater, and dance. In her most personally inspired work yet, Montoni expresses the importance of self-love, the discovery of new layers we each hold within ourselves, and the confidence to sing out loud and proud. Each poem is heightened by songs and sounds credited at the bottom of each page, adding an extra element to the emotions her words convey. Her story leaves the reader with the opportunity to sing and dance along to the world with her. Her collection ends with this: Embrace every part of you. Sing out. Play on. The collection is accompanied by a playlist on Spotify!
