Description
Soulful as a cricket’s song serenading a marsh at sunset, two lovers dancing the tango in the sand, or the wind’s harmonies causing waves to lap to shore, Sheree K. Nielsen’s collection of poems and photographs, Mondays in October, suggests easy movements in nature, and a time for us to slow down-like autumn-and imagine a simpler life. Mondays in October embraces Sheree’s unmistakable love songs for the beach, and her eternal companion-water-and the vulnerable, blissful, sensual rhythms connecting them. Received 1st Place in the FINE ART / PHOTOGRAPHY Category & 1st Place in the POETRY Category & Honorable Mention in the COFFEE TABLE / GIFT Category in the 2019 Royal Dragonfly Book Awards. A former circuit design engineer for a major telecom company, Sheree K. Nielsen believes that every picture tells a story, combining her love of photography and writing with colorful visual descriptions and healing messages found in her coffee table books, essay collections, children’s books, and poems. She finds inspiration in the ocean and nature. Sheree is author/photographer/poet of 2015 Da Vinci Eye Award Winner Folly Beach Dances (inspired by the sea and her lymphoma journey), Chanticleer Little Peeps First Place Category Winner and Montaigne Medal Finalist Midnight the One-Eyed Cat (a picture book), and Chanticleer Finalist Ocean Rhythms Kindred Spirits-An Emerson-Inspired Essay Collection on Travel, Nature, Family and Pets. Her other works are well represented in Southern Writers Magazine, AAA Southern and Midwest Traveler, Long Weekends, South and North Brunswick Magazine, Missouri Life, among others. When not writing, she is discovering new beaches and coffeehouses with her goofy dogs and patient husband. Four content cats complete her family.
